This book addresses existing challenges and opportunities related
to tourism for people with disabilities. A niche market that is
largely underdeveloped, its potentials are also often
underestimated. It examines the strategies, policies, and
initiatives – at regional, national, and international levels –
to foster the development of accessible tourism for people with
disabilities. It does so by examining the different social,
cultural, legal, and information/interactive barriers that
represent important constraints to welfare, inclusion, integration,
and promotion of civil rights, which bring difficulties and
detriment to tourists with disabilities. Additionally, the book
analyzes the characteristics and dynamics of that portion of the
tourism industry that is more oriented to meet the distinctive
travel demand of people with disabilities. In doing so, the book
explores how preferences for travel services and facilities of
people with disabilities differ from preferences of tourists
without disabilities. All these issues are addressed from both a
theoretical and a practical perspective by adopting a
multidisciplinary approach, which leverages from the fields of
management, economics, and statistical analysis. The book can be
useful for a broad audience made of both researchers and
practitioners (among which tourism companies and corporate
trainers) who are expected to deal with the topic of tourism
management.
