Accessible Tourism for All: An Opportunity Within our Reach gives an overview of the corresponding Manual on Accessible Tourism for All. There are five separate modules. Module 1 gives a definition and context for accessible tourism. Module 5 provides principles, tools and good practice examples. The other three modules were not found in a search of the UN World Tourism Organization website. There is a companion module, Public-Private Partnerships and Good Practices, which has a European focus. It covers sporting events, transportation, parks and gardens as well as heritage sites with lots of examples.
The 65 page Module 1 is easy to read. There is something for everyone involved in tourism, major events, heritage sites and attractions. Three infographics from the text, and shown below, tell the tourism story at a glance: 1. How Tourism for All is configured; 2. Beneficiaries of accessibility in tourism; and 3. The world’s most populous nations by 2050.
