President of the Tunisian association “Ibsar”, Mohamed Mansouri, on Thursday called for a national strategy to make beaches accessible to disabled people.
“During the summer season, access to bathing areas has become a need for people with disabilities,’ he told TAP, pointing out that access routes to beaches have not been developed.
“These circuits consist of the development of car parks that must be connected to the beach and then to the sea over a distance of two or three metres to facilitate access to the sea for disabled people in wheelchairs,” he added.
He also praised the pilot project for the development of beaches to guarantee a degree of independence for disabled people, and called for it to be extended to all beaches.
