Assessment of compliance with the requirementsDeclaration on accessibility

Tourismus Marketing GmbH Baden-Württemberg endeavors to make its website accessible in accordance with Section 10 (1) of the State Disability Equality Act (L-BGG). This declaration on digital accessibility applies exclusively to the website www.visit.bw.com.

Status of compatibility with the requirements
This website is partially compatible with Section 10 (1) L-BGG due to the following incompatibilities and exceptions.

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is not accessible for the following reasons:
Documents embedded in the website (.pdf, .doc, etc.)

Justification: The large number of documents provided, some of which are already older, has not yet made it possible to transfer them into an accessible format. Documents provided by third parties (e.g. other organizations, DMOs, associations, etc.) are also not accessible.

Videos integrated into the website

Justification: It has not yet been possible to provide the videos with an audio description.

Cartography within the website

Rationale: A cartographic representation is a helpful and useful addition to information. Cartography is essentially a pictorial representation, which therefore cannot meet the requirements of the BITV.

Images from the shared mein.toubiz database do not always have an alternative text

Reason: The TMBW websites use the mein.toubiz database (central tourism database of the state of Baden-Württemberg) as a central element. Cooperating tourism businesses can use it to enter a wide variety of data records, which are then displayed on the TMBW website. Depending on the maintenance status, these data records are more or less accessible. The TMBW has no direct influence on this, but draws the partners' attention to the necessity and importance of the topic in various places and regularly raises awareness.

External data entries do not meet the accessibility requirements

Justification: The websites of the TMBW use the mein.toubiz database (central tourism database of the state of Baden-Württemberg) as a central element. Cooperating tourism businesses can use this to enter a wide variety of data records, which are then displayed on the TMBW website. Depending on the maintenance status, these data records are more or less accessible. The TMBW has no direct influence on this, but draws the partners' attention to the necessity and importance of the topic in various places and regularly raises awareness.
