Dubai to strengthen accessible tourism

#DUBAI is striving to become the world’s friendliest place for the #disabled. Initiatives include Smart Gate Special Counters at the airports, guidelines in Braille, government staff trained in sign language to support those with hearing and speech impairment, ease of wheelchair access in buildings, parks, transport facilities, government offices, and parking facilities close to the centres.

Sami Al Qamzi, director general at the Department of Economic Development (DED): ‘We have formed a special team to make the DED and its institutions disabled-friendly entities to ensure that the design and facilities inside the buildings allow people with disabilities to use the services and move around with ease.’

The UAE and Dubai have been taking numerous initiatives toward enhancing the lives of people with disabilities and integrating them into the society.

Government departments are using smart technologies to make transactional procedures easily accessible for the disabled, providing job opportunities and introducing facilities aimed at integrating those with disabilities into society.
