The project aims to increase tourist traffic and strengthen the economy of the Municipality of Igoumenitsa. To this end, the Municipality of Igoumenitsa selected 4 beaches (Karavostasi, Plataria, Megas Ammos, Agia Paraskevi) in order to make them accessible by disabled people. These beaches will accommodate disabled guests, residents and visitors, who are travelling with wheelchairs. Therefore, they will have all the appropriate infrastructure so that the visitor with disabilities does not encounter obstacles related to the layout and use of public spaces. More specifically, the above beaches will have: Parking space exclusively for disabled people, changing room, transportable chemical toilet (WC), shading area, autonomous access for people with motor problems at sea, a corridor that connects the above infrastructure to facilitate the movement of disabled people with wheelchairs, signage with information signs, anti-theft system and weather-telemetry monitoring system. Tourism of disabled people is a special form of tourism with very good prospects and its development strategy aims to create a “critical mass” of accessible infrastructure that will be created by both the Central State, the local government, but also professionals who will give substance to the particular effort to achieve the accessibility needed to attract visitors. Currently in the European Community the number of people with disabilities is 50,000,000 people (Eurostat data, 2001 edition), who at least 50 % travel and are accompanied by an average of 1.56 persons (data from Germany’s Federal Ministry of Economy and Labour), bringing the figure to about 65,000,000 people. And if they take into account the number of elderly people over the age of 65, who now have completely different habits and tourist behaviour from previous generations of peers and who are expected to almost double by 2050, bringing the figure from 20 % to 40 % of the population, but also of families with children in carts, which families in recent years have started to travel more and more frequently (two categories with similar access needs to people with disabilities) In Greece it is estimated that about 550,000 citizens belong to the category of “Kiniti Disabled”.
