Puglia tourism focuses on adventure parks and accessibility
Tourism in Puglia is increasingly focusing on family-friendly and inclusive experiences. Adventure parks in the region offer outdoor activities such as suspended paths, Tibetan bridges, and zip-lines designed to develop coordination and confidence in children. In Salento, facilities like the Melendugno park provide specialized circuits for children aged four and up with constant instructor supervision.
Additionally, there is a growing emphasis on accessibility within Puglia’s water parks. To ensure inclusive tourism, facilities are being evaluated on their ability to provide ramps, pool lifts, equipped changing rooms, and trained staff. These improvements aim to accommodate individuals with mobility, sensory, or cognitive disabilities, aligning with Italian Law 104/1992 and EU Directive 2019/882, which promote inclusive services as a standard rather than an exception.
