The European Concept For Accessibility 2003

2.2 Opportunities

Assuming that accessibility consists of providing an environment that everybody can enjoy, its most immediate effect is a greater number of people able to participate in social and economic activities.

Therefore, to increase accessibility in buildings, products and services generates a win-win situation, where friends and relatives of people who experience difficulties in non accessible environments, tend to become users and clients of those with a welcoming access for such people. Does not this conception then mean an investment, instead of a expenditure for society?
