Universal Accesibility
Responsible Tourism. We take special care for each guest , disabled or nor disabled, as any exclusion should exist.Since the beginning, our aim was to create a singular type of accommodation focused on the “Inclusive Tourism” , not only for travelers with reduced mobility, more precisely to all people whom are welcome as customers and guests. We have developped a universal concept where any type of appartment or common area is created specifically for disabled persons, actually it works for everybody , meaning disabled and non disabled as we think that it should not exist any exclusion for “special needs” .
How to reach the universal accessibility standards?
The key matter is the common sense to study every detail of our “inclusive” design which of course meets the required regulations and specifications but most important, being not noticeable. We have been assisted by the ONCE Foundation and PREDIF, the most important organisations in terms of accesibility, and after a tough work together, we are very satisfied with the universal concept created : RuralSuite Hotel -Appartments *** that has been already awarded with:
“Award for Global Accessibility in 2011 – obtained just one one year after our opening, given by the Navarra Chamber of Commerce and Industry, awarded us with the
“Responsible Tourism Award in 2015” our most important achievement , a worldwide award in themrs of Responsible Tourims and accessibility
