The Pornic Inter-municipal Tourist Office has begun the process of applying for the quality label for its seven tourist offices. This initiative is part of a strong commitment to ensuring a high-quality welcome that is accessible to all visitors throughout the Destination Pornic area.

Presentation

What is the ‘Tourisme & Handicap’ label ?

The ‘Tourisme & Handicap’ label is a government-recognised mark that goes far beyond a simple logo. It guarantees a welcome tailored to people with disabilities and recognises tourist establishments – accommodation, leisure venues, restaurants and tourist information centres – that have put specific facilities in place and trained their staff.

The aim is simple: to enable everyone to enjoy their holidays and explore our magnificent Pornic destination to the full, independently and in the greatest possible comfort.

This label takes into account four main categories of disability :

  • Mobility impairment : accessible premises, adapted pathways, specific equipment.
  • Visual impairment : information in Braille, large print or in an easy-to-read and easy-to-understand format; clear and legible signage.
  • Hearing impairment : hearing assistance devices and adapted information materials.
  • Intellectual disability : easy-to-understand information, simplified signage and staff trained to provide support.
  • Tourisme & Handicap logo

A supportive and constructive approach

To enhance the quality of its visitor experience, the tourist office team has benefited from the support and advice of Loire-Atlantique Développement.
Far from being a constraint, this initiative represents a genuine opportunity for development and a mark of quality for tourist establishments. It highlights a commitment to inclusive and responsible tourism.
We invite all stakeholders within the Destination Pornic region to join this initiative in order to provide an increasingly accessible range of services.

To welcome you even better

As part of this initiative, several measures are being implemented :

  • A survey of the region’s tourist attractions and accessible services.
  • The promotion of walking routes accessible to all, particularly those adapted for people with reduced mobility : https://www.pornic.com/randonnees-accessibles-a-tous-circuit-pmr.html

Together, let’s make Destination Pornic a destination open to all, where everyone can enjoy a high-quality tourist experience.
