Blog
In November 2018, Houssaine el Ichen and Veroniek Maat made a short video of accessibility in Amsterdam. Veroniek, the owner of Accessible Travel Netherlands has lived in Amsterdam since 2010 and Houssaine lives in Amsterdam since 2018. Houssaine is originally from Morocco, which is where he started his company Disabled Tourist Guide. In Morocco he guides people through the busy but beautiful streets of the old city centers and, to the beautiful Atlas mountains and beyond. His website is called Disabled-tourist-guide.com.
Since he’s been living in Amsterdam, Veroniek and Houssaine have decided to start promoting accessible tourism opportunities in more languages, namely Arabic, French and English. With Houssaine speaking Arabic and French, it’s possible to tell Arabic and French speaking people around the world about the opportunities of accessible travel in the Netherlands and beyond.
Below you’ll find the first video about accessible tourism in Amsterdam.
