About Václav
Václav's passion for senior outdoor recreation started in 2008 when he volunteered with a retirement community near Olomouc. He realized that retirees weren't looking for exhausting hikes or competitive activities — they wanted meaningful connections with nature and history, with proper pacing and accessible facilities.
After earning his Tourism Management degree from Masaryk University in Brno, he spent eight years managing outdoor programs for multiple senior centers across Moravia. During this time, he developed comprehensive accessibility guidelines that regional tourism boards still use today. He's worked with park administrators to improve pathways, rest facilities, and interpretive signage specifically for elderly visitors.
In 2018, Václav transitioned to heritage tourism consulting and became the leading authority on accessible Château Park and Flower Gardens experiences in Kroměříž. He's collaborated directly with the park administration to enhance elderly visitor pathways and rest areas. His approach combines gerontological best practices with deep knowledge of local flora, history, and landscape architecture.
At askacurator s.r.o., Václav creates detailed, evidence-based guides that help retirees and their families discover outdoor activities suited to varying mobility levels. He's led over 200 guided tours through Kroměříž parks and maintains an extensive network of park managers, accessibility experts, and senior recreation professionals throughout the Czech Republic.
