Riva del Garda has launched the contest “Hospitality Award – Inclusivity and Welcoming”, an initiative aimed at highlighting innovative projects in the tourism sector while promoting inclusivity in travel. Organized by Riva del Garda Fierecongressi in collaboration with WMF – We Make Future, the award seeks to recognize establishments and initiatives that break down physical, sensory, and cultural barriers, making hospitality accessible to everyone. Applications are open until May 20, 2025, and the winner will have the opportunity to present their project at prestigious events such as the WMF Festival 2025 at BolognaFiere and the 50th edition of Hospitality, scheduled from February 2 to 5, 2026.
The contest jury, composed of experts in hospitality and accessibility, will evaluate submissions based on criteria such as impact on accessibility, technological innovation, and sustainability. Giovanna Voltolini, Exhibition Manager of Hospitality, emphasized the importance of highlighting actionable ideas that promote truly inclusive hospitality. This contest is part of a broader commitment to accessible tourism, alongside other initiatives such as “Startup for Hospitality” and the DI OGNUNO project, dedicated to hospitality for all.
