Access Tourism NZ TOURISM FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES, SENIORS, AND AGEING BOOMERS IN NEW ZEALAND AND WORLDWIDE

The Australian Disabilities and Development Consortium (ADDC) will be discussing accessible tourism at their upcoming conference (Darwin,15-17 September 2010). The discussion will be included in a session that looks as the ways in which leisure activities can improve empowerment and social justice. As well as tourism, such leisure activities include sports, involvement in the arts, music, dance, and drama. The ADDC is an international network focusing attention, expertise, and action on disability issues in developing countries and so the conference is very firmly based in providing better access to services and social justice in developing countries – specifically the Pacific Islands and Asia.
