It’s a form of tourism that aspires to ensure holiday destinations, related services, amenities and attractions are accessible to all – not just the able bodied, but also the not so able bodied.

Randolph Bias used the term, the ‘temporarily able bodied’ for non disabled people. It is to remind us that we can all join the disabled community; it is not like gender or race where we are born into the community. Some of us get there as we get older and our faculties and physical strength gets worn out, some of us by sickness, some by accidents and some of us from birth.

Inclusive tourism is for everybody. It means disabled and non disabled, slow walkers, people with crutches or walking sticks, children on holiday with grandparents, it means groups enjoying trips together.

It means no exclusion because of ‘special needs’.
