Pools and spas, in addition to sports, entertainment and relaxation activities, are also spaces for social interaction. In this sense they constitute a significant part of the tourist attraction of many destinations.
There are two basic needs to cover so that most people can make use of them:
1. Enjoy bathing in safe conditions.
Depending on the type of pool, the environment in which it is located and the user profile of the same, it is recommended that the user has alternatives to guarantee an entry/exit to the pool apart from the stairs, such as lifts or pool hoists, safe and approved systems for transferring the user into the water.
The hydraulic pool lifts, pool hoists or pool hoists, are specially designed to allow safe access to the pool for People with disabilities. Considered a key element to add value to resorts such as hotels, resorts, campsites, spas or cruise ships, to offer a barrier-free service in their pools in a safe way, providing their guests with total autonomy and comfort.
The commitment to inclusion and social responsibility by tourism companies has to be understood as a competitive improvement, an investment in their facilities to embrace diversity in a market with consumers with different needs. It is not enough to respect the human rights of People with disabilities and their families, but also to satisfy a great demand that exists in the market, which could considerably increase the competitiveness and growth of tourism destinations and companies.
People with disabilities and special needs are increasingly demanding their place in the tourism activity. In response, ACCESS offers approved elements for accessibility in pools such as lifts or pool hoists, an effective, safe solution and with a very fast installation that adapt to any type of pool regardless of its size and depth.
