EasyChair Preprint 13678

Abstract

This article explores the problem of accessibility in cultural heritage and its impact on the tourism of the Portuguese Way to Santiago, namely in the city of Porto. We analyse the econometric data that guarantee an objective result regarding universal accessibility and the applicability of a facilitating language along the proposed itineraries promoting heritage education and integrated advancement of information technology to improve the quality of life of citizens and society. The many and varied typology points of interest available to the hiker/pilgrim/tourist in the historic core of the city of Porto allow us to extend the theme by interconnecting with the works of the sculptor Henrique Moreira as identity points of a UNESCO heritage city.
