Abstract
The research aims to answer a fundamental question: which of the disability models
currently in use is optimal for creating “accessible tourism-oriented” amenities, as well
as more detailed problems: (1) what is disability and what determines different
disability models? (2) what types of tourism market supply available for the disabled
do the different disability models suggest? (3) are the disability models complementary
or mutually exclusive? (4) is the idea of social integration and inclusion of people with
disabilities (PWD) while on tourist trips supported of the society?
Data sources comprise selected literature and results of a survey conducted using the
face-to-face method and the SurveyMonkey website from May 2013 to July 2014. The
surveyed group included 619 people (82% were Polish, the other 18% were foreigners
from: Russia, Germany, Portugal, Slovakia, Canada, Tunisia and the United Kingdom).
The research showed that the different disability models – medical, social,
geographical and economic – are useful when creating the tourism supply for the
PWD. Using the research results, the authors suggested a model of “diversification
of tourism market supply structure available for the disabled”, which includes different
types of supply – from specialist to universal. This model has practical usage and can
help entrepreneurs with the segmentation of tourism offers addressed to the PWD. The
work is innovative, both in its theoretical approach (the review of disability models and
their practical application in creating tourism supply) and empirical values – it provides
current data for the social attitude towards the development of PWD tourism.
Especially the presentation of a wide range of perception of disability as well as the
simple classification of tourism supply that meets the varied needs of PWD, is
a particular novelty of this chapter.
