Evaluation

For more than twenty years now, Kéroul has been evaluating the accessibility of Quebec's tourist and cultural establishments in collaboration with industry partners such as:

The Corporation de l'industrie touristique du Québec (lodging)
The ministère de l'Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l'Alimentation du Québec (agrotourism)
The ministère de la Culture et des Communications (museums, theatres, and cinemas)
and through other networks.

Kéroul also calls on its own resources as ongoing projects require.

Once the evaluation grids have been filled in, they are compiled and analyzed by Kéroul's research department. More than 5,200 tourist and cultural sites and attractions have been inventoried to date.
