The organising committee of Horticulture Expo 2023 Doha is committed to providing a unique edition, offering a thrilling experience to visitors from all walks of life as well as providing access and empowerment of persons with disabilities (PWDs).
In a statement, the organising committee affirmed the significant interest given to PWDs, as well as caring for them and facilitating their participation in all events through the design of the facilities, PWD signages, toilets and wide corridors to ensure their movement and access to all facilities of the Expo, in addition to providing parking lots in proximity to the main entrances.
The committee has been keen to honour the needs of PWDs when designing food kiosks and the squares where they can watch events, including conference halls to avoid any potential difficulties that might hamper their participation.
It pointed out that all zones of Doha expo are fully customised to receive visitors from PWDs and include them in this global event.
Qatar Society For Rehabilitation Of Special Needs (QSRSN) board member Talib Afifa said that the exhibition offers accessibility opportunities for PWDs and creates an interactive atmosphere of inclusion for this group, providing them a wonderful experience, whether in recreational, cultural, or cognitive events related to environmental and agricultural issues.
He heaped praise on the efforts undertaken by the organising committee to facilitate the participation of PWDs.
Afifa said that the QSRSN is considering field trips by its affiliates and students to the Expo.
This segment is closely interconnected with the goals of Expo 2023 Doha, which are laser-focused on transition to green and sustainable future in Qatar, he emphasised, noting the determination of Qatar to include PWDs in the efforts of the sustainable future and national vision.
