Why am I unable to find some
resources in TUR4all?
Try using different search options such as location as the resource might have been registered with a different name.
Many times, establishments have an official name and then a name they are more commonly known by; in TUR4all we register the official name if the resource has been visited by one of our technicians, whereas users might us the name it is more commonly known as.
Our database contains contributions from both users and the work of our technicians, but there are many tourism resources, so in many cases it is simply because we have not come across them yet.
Why not simply register a resource that you have been unable to find and tell us about its accessibility; if you do not know it very well but you think it might be interesting to include, simply send un an email and we will do our best to visit it.

Editing resources
How can I delete the photos of
a resource?
You are unable to delete photos of a resource. If you have uploaded a photo by mistake, use the moderator button and we will receive an alert to correct it.
Why should I upload a photo of
a resource?
If there are photos of resources such as restaurants, shopping centres, theatres, etc. people with a physical disability can quickly decide if the resource is accessible for them or not. For example, they can see if they can navigate a step at the entrance on their own or if they will require assistance from someone else.
Furthermore, some people find it difficult to fully understand from a description what the bathroom facilities are like, whereas with a photo, they can clearly see where and how the grab bars are located, and therefore decide if they can make the transfer or not.
What should the photos be
like?
If possible, try to include the name of the resource in the photo (for example a sign above the door at the entrance).
Try to ensure that photos are in landscape: All image formats are accepted (jpg, tiff, png).
The maximum size of the archives should be 2MB.
How am I able to edit the
details of a resource?
If you have not yet sent us the form, you only need to modify it before confirming the data.
If you have already sent it or was created by another user, simply click on the "Modify resource".
You are only able to edit data of resources created by you or other users, whereas if the resource was created by one of our technicians, please get in contact with us.
How do I add photos to a
resource?
In each of the sections of the accessibility questionnaire, there is a button to add photos. You can add a maximum of five photos per section.
How do I delete a resource?

I have a lot to say and one
comment is not enough. How else am I able to express my opinion?
