Turismo accesible para personas con discapacidad física y visual para el destino turístico Bajo Alto.

Abstract

The relevance of tourism around the world and the recent trends that have appeared in recent years have led to new topics such as accessibility for people with disabilities, the research topic of this work. A proposal for the implementation of accessible beaches was presented based on other experiences already carried out and successfully executed. This study focused on inclusive tourism aimed at people with disabilities, specifically physical and visual disabilities, because tourists with this type of disability also deserve to enjoy tourism that is accessible to them. Therefore, it is important to understand the needs and desires of disabled people in their behavior as tourists, trying to describe tourism offers whose content is adapted to them as disabled tourists. As well as knowing if when they stay in a hotel establishment they satisfy their needs. On the other hand, contributing to considerable satisfaction of tourists with special needs and greater competitiveness of tourism companies. This project follows the methodology developed by the OMT, as well as the contribution of the Spanish ONCE foundation, whose purpose is to integrate disabled people into the tourism industry, one of which is the sun and beach section, whose implementation is proposed to be carried out in the Bajo Alto tourist attraction of the El Guabo canton as an accessible beach that can offer services that facilitate the stay of this group of people, as a practice base that will provide local development and satisfy the special needs of the tourists (Guerrero González & Ramos Mendoza, 2020).
