Value and Significance of Accessible Tourism

Abstract

There are 1 million people with disabilities in New Zealand and 1 billion people with disabilities globally. The prevalence of disability is increasing, notably due to population ageing.

Accessible tourism is about enabling people with access requirements to function independently and with equity and dignity in tourism. Access is currently part of every market segment you target; when you design with access in mind, you design better for everyone.
