President's Message

Wishing all of you a warm welcome to our new webpage.

The Asia-Pacific Network on Accessible Tourism (APNAT) was registered as a non-profit organisation in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia on 7th October 2019.

Our main objectives are to integrate activities, develop training programs & workshops to the stakeholders and employees, in the tourism and hospitality industry and network with our partners in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond, to enable equality and barrier free travel for all.

Our intended activities were somewhat curbed by the Covid pandemic since 2020. However, we return to full normalcy by this year. Perhaps there may be a new norm in tourism and let us be prepared for the challenges ahead for our disabled and elderly community / traveller’s.

We welcome new members to join us to make “Inclusive Travel within everyone’s ability and reach”
