Abstract:

This publication addresses the relative lack of research carried out into the topic of accessibility in nature areas to date. Through multiple cases studies and examples of best practices drawn from UNWTO Affiliate Members and other organizations, it illustrates different ways of designing and implementing projects aimed at improving accessibility in nature and so enabling persons with disabilities to travel to these areas.

Aimed at all tourism stakeholders from both the public and private sectors, including destination management organizations, tourism businesses, NGOs and other tourism entities, this publication also provides relevant conclusions on how to identify accessible tourism products and services in natural areas. The compiled examples can inspire others to launch similar initiatives aimed at achieving a greater inclusivity and making nature accessible to all.

Keywords: accessible tourism, inclusive tourism, nature, best practices, public-private collaboration, training, implementation, sustainability, replication
