[edit] Removal of copyrighted material

I have removed two paragraphs because they appear to be copyrighted material:


– I don't see why all the links were removed. For example the ENAT-website contains lots of information on accessible tourism. Other pages like IBFT or NatKo contain useful stuff too (NatKo is only in German) but I really think that you should consider restoring the link to ENAT, afterall they are quite a big EU-project and should be included in Wikipedia for further reading. Simbone1987 (talk) 09:26, 25 April 2008 (UTC) – Since no one responded to my comment I took the liberty of restoring the link to ENAT. If you don't agree with this please explain here in detail why.

From Pühretmair, F. (2004). It’s time to make eTourism accessible:
"So far the tourism industry still has hardly recognized the potential and the value of barrier-free tourism. As long as the tourism industry will not identify that barrier-free tourism is an indicator for quality, a trademark and a competitive advantage they will not attract its considerable market-share."
From Wikipedia article Accessible tourism:
"So far the tourism industry has hardly recognized the potential and the value of barrier free or inclusive tourism design. As long as the tourism industry will not realize that barrier-free tourism is an indicator for quality and competitive advantage, it does not attract the considerable market-share of the growing customer base comprised of disabled people, elderly people and all citizens demanding accessibility."
"improvements in medicine have allowed disabled people to live longer; improvements in equipment such as wheelchairs, hearing aids, or computers that speak for us allow us to be more active; entrepreneurs and other risk-takers with disabilities have started travel agencies, sports leagues, and outdoor expeditions expanding our imaginations and challenging us to ever larger goals."
From Wikipedia article Accessible tourism:
"Improvements in medicine have allowed disabled people to live longer; improvements in equipment such as wheelchairs, hearing aids, or speaking computers allow people with disabilities to be more active; entrepreneurs and other risk-takers with or without disabilities have started travel agencies, sports leagues, and outdoor expeditions providing better and better conditions towards a good life and equality in opportunities."
Accessible tourism has been defined as:

'as a process of enabling people with disabilities and seniors to function independently and with equity and dignity through the delivery of universal tourism products, services and environments (adapted from Olympic Co-ordination Authority 1999). The definition is inclusive of the mobility, vision, hearing and cognitive dimensions of access' (Darcy 2006:3)*.

[edit] Open Directory Project Links

The DMOZ search template, and by implication all DMOZ search links, is being considered for deletion because it violates WP:ELNO #9. Anyone interested in discussing the fate of Open Directory Project (DMOZ) search links is invited to join the discussion at Wikipedia:Templates for deletion#Template:Dmoz2.
