Today, January 4th , is commemorated the invention of writing for the blind, and the birth of its inventor Louis Braille, also blind. His blindness wasn’t congenital. In his early days , little Louis wound himself in one of his eyes, and was immediately blinded by that eye. After a while the infection from the first eye wounds passes into the second, leaving Louis Braille completely blind.

By the age
of 10 he joins the Royal Institute of the Blind in Paris. Later, in 1827, he
became a teacher and developed a system that was earlier than his own and that
is when Braille was born - "a process of reading and writing through
raised dots".
It was a
great advance for the teaching of the blind. Adaptable to all languages and
all kinds of spellings, the Braille System has brought more knowledge to the
blind who enjoy it.
In the case
of Accessible Tourism, it was an enormous contribution in the dissemination of
the Destinations, its Culture, its people and to make more accessible all
products and services destined, when there are, people with this type of incapacity.
