Abstract

To complete the book, this chapter presents two cases of working digital ecosystems. The first comes from Alto Adige, a well-known tourist region in the Italian Alps, while the second emerged in the UK, but works as a network all over the world. These cases serve as exemplars of the achievements a logic of IT-based cooperation can provide, highlighting the power of working together on the one hand, and of the digital tools on the other. Thanks to the opportunities provided by such networks, tourism for people with disability is becoming more accessible, paving the way, hopefully, for the very removal of the word ‘accessible’.
