The first dissemination event of the ACCESSIBLE project took place on June 13, 2024 and was organised by the Faculty of Economics and Business Zagreb (UNIZG) as the host institution. Professor Nevenka Čavlek gave detailed information about the ACCESSIBLE project, its goals and partners, the expected end result and the research plan. This introduction was followed by the detailed report of Associate Professor Vanja Krajinović on the research results of the 211 respondents (people with disabilities). The presentation was focused on the results of the primary research and participants were given detailed explanations of the findings. This was particularly interesting for all participants as previous research in Croatia did not include such a large sample nor was it as comprehensive in terms of different aspects of accessible tourism development. Therefore, these results were discussed with great interest by all participants in the last part of the workshop, as they all had different perspectives on this topic, either from professional or personal experience. After the researchers' presentations about the project, almost all participants took part in the discussion and numerous interesting questions were raised - starting with the organisation of travel for people with disabilities, their specific requirements in terms of universal design, potentials and reasons for universal design within society, specific social issues related to the quality of life of people with disabilities in Croatia, requirements for sports activities, etc. The participants were satisfied with the quality and content of the results presented and expressed their interest in further research phases within this project.
