(ALTA) aims to develop mobility and obtain the necessary equipment to carry out activities and mobility is a real need and one that we will have to ensure for tourists.

(ALTA) aims to be an adapted infrastructure and a happy and motivated team to welcome and provide recreational moments - sporting and tourist, unique experiences for people with temporary or permanent disabilities.
The association is founded with the aim of providing an adapted transport service, adapted sports, adapted trips, in this way we seek to improve the tourist experience for people with specific needs.

The proposed objectives are to develop a sustainable tourism product, but at the same time compatible with the optimization of economic and social benefits for people with special needs.

The creation of a methodology for the development of routes in order to be a reference for tourism, investing in innovation and regional development, investing in a multiplicity of areas and agents that work in a transversal way in a network.

Digital accessibility is the first priority so that it can be used by everyone.

It means allowing a person with a disability or an elderly person to access and use technology on an equal basis with others.

Typically, designing for people with disabilities is considered simply doing the “right thing.” However, accessible design adds a lot of value to products, companies and society in general.

The creation of a universal design website with the following purpose:

Size and space for approach and use
Purpose
Adequate size and space are provided for approach, reaching, manipulation and use, regardless of the user's body size, posture or mobility.

The design provides enough space for anyone to use its features, regardless of their physical abilities or build.
Guidelines
Provide a clear line of sight to important elements for any seated or standing user.
Have the components comfortably within reach of any seated or standing user.
Adapt hands and handles to different sizes.
Provide an appropriate space for the use of personal assistants or assistive devices. (National Disability Authority, 2020).
Good examples
An ATM that allows the user to interact with it from their wheelchair.
A train ticket seller with a keyboard adapted to large hands and does not require much precision when pressing buttons.
Bad examples
An ATM with a keypad that is not within reach of a wheelchair.
A keyboard on a terminal with very small buttons, making typing difficult for people with large hands or tremors.
