    ACCESIBLE TOURISM

    The right to travel is one of universal human rights, regardless of one's physical
    condition. Travel that is designed around the requirements of PWDs is called
    accessible tourism. The WTO defines accessible tourism as a form of tourism that
    involves a collaborative process among stakeholders that enables people with
    access reurements, including mobility, vision, hearing and cognitive dimensions of
    access, to function independently and with equity and dignity through the delivery
    of universally designed tourism products, services, and environments
    PRINCIPLES OF ACCESSIBLE

    UNIVERSAL DESIGN

    The UN Principles of Accessible Tourism mentioned Universal Design. Universal Design is


    defined in the (Philippine) Interior Design Code as the design of facilities, "easily and freely used
    anywhere, by anyone." Universal design is therefore not limited to persons with disabilities but
    for the elderly, foreigners who may not be familiar with the local language, and others. The
    growth of tourism and the call for inclusion for all groups of travelers has underlined the need for
    the adoption of UD principles in tourism infrastructure like airports, hotels, resorts, shopping
    centers, and in cities in general. The paradigm of Universal Design emerged from the concept of
    barrier-free design, accessible design, and assistive technology (Interior Design Code). The
    World Tourism Organization defines Universal Design as "the design of products, environments,
    programmes, and services to be usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without
    the need for adaptation or specialized design." UD includes assistive devices for particular
    groups of persons with disabilities where this needed
    PRINCIPLE OF UNIVERSAL DESIGN

    Flexibility in Use. The design accommodates a wide range of individual preferences


    and abilities.
    Guidelines:
    • Provides choice in methods of use.
    • Accommodates right- or left-handed access and use.
    • Facilitates the user's accuracy and precision.
    • Provides adaptability to the user's pace.

    Simple and Intuitive Use. Use of the design is easy to understand, regardless of the
    user's experience, knowledge, language skills, or current concentration level.
    Guidelines:
    • Eliminates unnecessary complexity.
    • Is consistent with user expectations and intuition.
    • Accommodates a wide range of literacy and language skills.
    • Arranges information consistent with its importance.
    • Provides effective prompting and feedback during and after task completion.
