Handy Superabile is an Onlus (non-profit) association committed to Accessible Tourism. The goal is to improve the accessibility of tourist services in Italy and abroad, and offers validated information to travelers with special needs: motor and sensory disabilities, elderly people and families with children.

Handy Superabile collaborates with public institutions and tour operators to develop paths of autonomy and social integration for people with disabilities, in all sectors, including accessible tourism.
