Pesquisa em Turismo Acessível - Reino Unido

Carlos Buj é aluno do curso de mestrado em Turismo Responsável da Leeds Metropolitan University no Reino Unido e está desenvolvendo uma pesquisa sobre Turismo Acessível sob supervisão do Dr. Simon Woodward.

Ele está aplicando um questionário online e quem tiver um tempinho e souber inglês pode colaborar, clicando no link: Pesquisa de Turismo Acessível

No final do questionário você pode deixar o seu e-mail e o pesquisador enviará o relatório final da pesquisa.

Carlos' Message:
Imagine: Every time you want to travel by public transport, go to the pub, stay in a hotel or enjoy a tour you have to ask: is it accessible? Most of times you would have to face a “No” or “don’t know”. Even when is “yes” you cannot really rely on it. Up to 30% of the population are in this situation.

Before us there is a growing group of People with Limited Mobility (PwLM) who are demanding Accessible Tourism. However, tourism products and services are, in general, far of being prepared to accommodate the needs of this group of people. This means no tourism access for many.

This creates frustration among PwLM and it poses a question that lies beyond not meeting a market segment; it is a question of injustice that as a society we should face and resolve.In order to expand the knowledge on the needs of people with reduces mobility (from parents with prams and shopping trolleys to wheelchair users and seniors).

I am collecting data (and you can help me).You can do it responding to this brief questionnaire http://bit.ly/9pPrBH. You just need to be a PwLM or a usual companion.
