Digital Accessibility Declaration of the Berlin Tourismus & Kongress GmbH

Scope

Accessibility is important to us. That's why we strive to design our websites and applications to be accessible. We are constantly working on making our website accessible in accordance with the Accessible Information and Communication Technology Act Berlin (BIKTG Bln) and the Accessible Information Technology Ordinance (BITV 2.0).

This declaration on digital accessibility applies to the website www.about.visitBerlin.de

When was the accessibility declaration created or updated?

This declaration was created or last revised on 24/11/2021.

Compliance with the standards of accessible design was checked by the web agency XIMA MEDIA GmbH. The test was based on the 60 test steps of the BITV test.

How accessible is the website?

This website is partially accessible. The reason for this is, in particular, a disproportionate burden according to § 4 para. 3 of the BIKTG Bln due to the complexity and size of the website. We are currently working on the implementation and especially on the improvement of accessibility. Especially in the case of supplements and revisions, accessible design is always taken into account during the planning, development, tendering and procurement phases.

Which areas are not accessible?

Videos:
Currently, the videos embedded on the website do not have audio transcriptions and subtitles.

alternative texts: For integrated images, alternative texts are available in the majority of cases, but are still being checked for the uniqueness of their descriptions.

Contrasts: Colours and contrasts of coloured texts as well as buttons and control elements are insufficient in some instances.

PDF documents: Some PDF documents are currently partially inaccessible.

Furthermore, the following contents are not accessible according to § 4 para. 4 of the BIKTG Bln:

PDF documents published before March 15, 2019

Content from third parties that is neither financed nor developed by Berlin Tourismus & Kongress GmbH nor subject to its control

Content from websites that are considered archives and were created before September 23, 2019
