Accessible Tourism/Tourism for All, its history and the business case

8 hours online

The module aims to provide the trainers with the basic knowledge about Accessible Tourism, also known as “Tourism for All”. It begins by examining “megatrends”, which refer to significant, globally relevant, social, economic, political, environmental and technological changes over the long-term, which impact on tourism. It introduces the concept of Accessible Tourism, based on comprehensive and shared experience and data emerging from recent studies of the supply and the demand.


It also covers the historical background of Accessible Tourism, referring to the campaigns and efforts of organisations of persons with disabilities and the accessibility movement, and the recognition of the rights of people with disabilities, which has led to achievements in the legislative framework at European and international levels.


The concepts of Design for All and Universal Design are also explained as approaches and tools for achieving inclusion by mainstreaming accessibility in the tourism sector.
