One of the biggest costs many disabled people face when traveling is hiring a personal care assistant – professionals who help with transfers in and out of bed, taking a bath, getting dressed, etc. In an effort to attract more disabled tourists, Spain is seeking to lower the cost of these services through a unique training program.
As reported by Disway, Spain’s State Representative Platform of People with Physical and Organic Disabilities (Predif) is “launching an online course that, financed by the Secretary of State for Tourism, will train professionals in the travel sector to specialize as personal assistants of tourists with accessibility needs.”
The 50-hour training course will be offered from July 14-19 and is targeted for people in the cities of Madrid, Valladolid and Palma de Mallorca.
