Seoul Tourism Organization won the grand prize at the first Seoul Universal Design Awards for its barrier-free environment creation project in December 2021.
The organisation has been promoting the ‘Universal Tourism Environment Creation Project’ since 2019 to improve the physical environment, strengthen access to information, and improve social awareness, so anyone, including the disabled and the elderly, can travel the city conveniently.
Seoul Danurim Accessible Tourism Center, which opened in 2019 as part of the project, offers essential services including the operation of wheelchair accessible vehicles and travel assistive device rentals, and provision of accessibility information through the website.
Supported by the Union of International Associations (UIA), the International Association of Professional Congress Organisers (IAPCO) and the Interel Group, the global public affairs and association management consultancy, Headquarters Magazines serve the needs of international associations organising worldwide congresses.
