Abstract:
Travellers with disabilities, specific access requirements and seniors wish to start travelling again just as any other citizen. This wide segment of the population, comprising millions of potential consumers worldwide, has been hit hard by COVID-19. As the tourism sector is gradually reopening, it should not impose unreasonable new obstacles and
barriers that can often be avoided if we embrace the concept of
Accessible Tourism for All, in the recovery process. The travel & tourism
industries should see travellers with specific access requirements as
a great economic opportunity for them to stay afloat and make their
businesses flourish again.
