The Ministry of Culture (MiCultura) through the Office of Equal Opportunities trained 34 workers from the Berns Hotel & Resorts group network to put in place actions to provide facilities with persons with disabilities.

These are, inter alia, the construction of suitable physical spaces for use by persons with reduced disabilities and the production of menus with a Braille system for those with visual disabilities.

The training focused on the culture of disability and the issue included different types, right terms and appropriate treatment, and other specific actions.

The workshop responded to the cultural accessibility programme that sought to give people equal opportunity to have access to culture so that they enjoyed the cultural programs offered to all of society.

The training involved partners from different departments such as security, reception, human resources, events, restaurants and general managers from different hotels such as Intercontinental Miramar, Crowne Plaza Panama, Le Meridian, Crown Plaza Airport, Holiday Inn, Gamboa Rainforest Reserve, Westin Panama and Westin Playa Bonita.
