  • Abstract
    This paper presents some recommendations about the inclusion of accessibility criteria in the design of tourism resources in order to involve elderly and disabled people in their energy and waste saving policies. With these criteria, tourism entities contribute to the development of sustainable tourism, and consequently, to build environmentally-friendly tourism infrastructures and services.
