What is Access Tourism?
Access Tourism =Accessible Tourism=Inclusive Tourism
is tourism for people with disabilities (PwDs), seniors, and ageing Baby Boomers who will experience more and more disability as they age. It embraces the concept of Universal Design which designs the built environment so that all may use it easily. It would therefore create a built environment accessible to PwDs, slow walkers, those temporarily disabled by accident or illness, the aged, parents with prams or pushchairs, and anyone else needing ease of egress. In otherwords, it would be fully inclusive to everyone.
