A total of 50 Calp businesses have received the “Som Turisme Accessible” certificate, a distinctive that certifies that these companies offer facilities and services adapted for all people. Calp thus takes another step in its commitment to becoming an accessible tourist destination. The Councilor for Tourism Planning, Mireia Ripoll, along with the Councilor for Citizen Participation, Rebeca Merchán, accompanied by the president of AEMCO, Santi Ferrer, and Sandra Dobal representing ADICALP (Association of People with Disabilities of Calp), presented these distinctions in an event held on Saturday in the Plaza Major.
