Turismo accesible: beneficios y beneficiarios

Abstract

Uno de los segmentos de mercado que mayor protagonismo ha cobrado, en los últimos años, en el sector turístico es el que integran las personas discapacitadas. La relevancia de este segmento de mercado no sólo viene justificada por el número de efectivos que lo integran sino, sobre todo, por su participación cada vez mayor en el mercado turístico. La Organización Mundial de la Salud (O.M.S., 2009) afirma que hay más de 500 millones de personas en todo el mundo con deficiencias o discapacidades. En España, el número de personas discapacitadas supera los 3´8 millones de personas, lo que constituye el 9% de la población (Encuesta de Discapacidad, Autonomía Personal y Situaciones de Dependencia (EDAD) (INE, 2008). Otro de los aspectos relevantes del segmento de los discapacitados, junto con el número de efectivos que lo integran, es su participación cada vez mayor en el mercado turístico, ya que a su gran disponibilidad de tiempo libre y sus grandes deseos de viajar, se han unido, en los últimos, la existencia de un mayor número de ayudas técnicas y económicas. No obstante, son muchas las personas discapacitadas que no viajan, no por falta de tiempo o deseos de viajar sino por temor a no encontrar destinos turísticos accesibles, es decir, sin barreras. Las razones que han llevado a la situación de inaccesibilidad en el turismo parecen venir justificadas, en parte, por la escasa atención que se les ha prestado, hasta fechas recientes, al derecho al ocio y al disfrute del tiempo libre de las personas discapacitadas. Y, aunque, en las dos últimas décadas han surgido iniciativas, tanto públicas como privadas, en favor del derecho de estas personas a la igualdad de trato en el ocio y el turismo, que han provocado una mayor concienciación en diversos ámbitos empresariales, políticos y sociales, todavía queda mucho por hacer para lograr que las personas discapacitadas puedan acceder a los destinos turísticos en las mismas condiciones que las personas no discapacitadas. Por ello, se ha creado en el ámbito turístico una verdadera materia de estudio, denominada Turismo Accesible. En esta investigación haremos una revisión conceptual del turismo accesible, así como del turismo para todos, analizando los beneficios y beneficiarios del mismo.

One market segment that has gained greater prominence in recent years in the tourism sector is one that integrates people with disabilities. The relevance of this market segment is not only justified by the number of troops in it, but above all by their growing participation in the tourism market. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2009) argues that there are over 500 million people worldwide with impairments or disabilities. In Spain, the number of people with disabilities exceeds 3.8 million persons, constituting 9% of population (Survey of Disability, Personal Autonomy and Situations Unit (AGE) (INE, 2008). Another relevant aspect of the segment of the disabled, along with the number of troops in it, is its increasing involvement in the tourism market, because of its large availability of free time and their great desire to travel, have been united in the past, the existence of a greater number of technical and economic aid. However, many disabled people are not traveling, not for lack of time or desire to travel but for fear of not finding accessible travel destinations, ie, without barriers. The reasons that led to the situation of inaccessibility in tourism seem to come justified, in part, by the scant attention given to them until recently, right andalusia andalusia andalusia entertainment and leisure for disabled people. And although in the last two decades, initiatives have emerged, both public and private, for the right of these people to equal treatment in leisure and tourism, which have resulted in increased awareness in various fields of business, political and social, much remains to be done to ensure that disabled people have access to tourist destinations on the same terms as non-disabled people. It has therefore been created in the tourist a true field of study, called the Accessible Tourism. In this research we make a conceptual review of tourism and tourism for all, analyzing the benefits and beneficiaries thereof.
