Festuris expands the boundaries of inclusion with accessibility actions

In its 37th edition, Festuris – Gramado International Tourism Fair reaffirms its leadership not only as a space for business and global trends, but also as a model of inclusion within the tourism sector. This year, the event aims to guarantee an accessible, safe, and fulfilling experience for all through a series of initiatives developed in collaboration with MOVER and SEMEARHIS.

“Festuris 2025's accessibility initiatives aren't just adaptations; they reflect a vision that understands inclusion as part of innovation and sustainable development,” said Eduardo Zorzanello, CEO of Festuris.

For her part, Marta Rossi, also the event's CEO, emphasized: "Accessibility isn't a differential; it's a commitment to human dignity. To include is to see, to welcome, to create experiences that respect and value diversity."

Among the main new features are the installation of tactile flooring in key areas, the implementation of beacons that provide real-time audio information to people with visual impairments, and Braille signage for exhibitors in the Diversity and B&I spaces.

SEMEARHIS will complement these initiatives with Braille materials, videos translated into Libras, audio descriptions, and tactile maps that will allow visitors to navigate independently through the pavilions. Additionally, Libras interpreters will be present at the main content areas throughout the program.

With these actions, Festuris is taking a decisive step toward more humane, innovative, and truly accessible tourism for all.
