because of the restrictions imposed on them by their disabilities, needs are felt even more strongly. For example, travellers with disabilities report high levels of anxiety associated with travel and their dependence on the efficiency and smooth functioning of services such as those associated with transport and accommodation. The lower-level needs for food and shelter may necessitate enhanced accessi- bility, while the vulnerability of the disabled to criminal activity and accidental injury may call for additional security measures. Socialisation needs may require provision for mixing with other visitors, including those who are not dis- abled. Self-esteem and status needs are likely to be met only if the travellers can function with dignity and a high degree of independence. As with other travel- lers, self-actualisation may be encouraged through opportunities for learning experiences, intellectual stimulation and overcoming challenges. Arrangements for hosting travellers with disabilities should be developed in consultation with experts on the problems likely to be encountered and the ways which they might be addressed. This guidance should include advice on lia- bilities and other legal ramifications. Where possible, the specific characteristics of such visitors should be identified and appropriate facilities developed. For example, wheelchair-bound travellers will require suitably equipped transport and toilets, access to and within buildings by way of ramps and wide door ways, restaurants with high tables and unencumbered passageways, and smooth, paved surfaces with gentle slopes. Audio and visual aids should be available assist those with sight hearing impairments. Carers accom- panying travellers with disabilities, especially those who intellectually impaired, should be admitted or accommodated at no (or reduced) cost. Since the quality of a service depends on the person delivering it, the most important element in the provision of travel experiences for the disabled is the staff with whom they come in contact. While appropriate attitudes are essential, staff should also be given specialised training in dealing with people with dis- abilities. Tour leaders should be provided with the skills required to deal with people in wheelchairs or communicate with those who have hearing problems. Tour organisers must arrange itineraries paced to allow for time-consuming transfers and the extra rest periods required. Amusement theme park operators may be required to provide assistance with boarding rides or seating at per- formances and displays. Apart from the legal and ethical inducements to cater for travellers with dis- abilities, operators and destination managers may be encouraged by the size of this market segment, and by the aging of the Australian population a trend that will see the demand for disabled facilities double by the middle of the twenty-first century. People with disabilities must be catered for by the provision of facilities designed to meet their particular requirements. At the same time, a basic prin- ciple to be pursued is that of inclusion the right of such people, wherever possible, to mingle with and function alongside their non-disabled fellows and participate in mainstream activities. This principle must be taken into account in the design stage of project developments, since later modifications are usually much more expensive. Finally, the amount and reliability of pre-trip information available to people with disabilities is paramount in their decisions about destinations and holiday activities. Operators must ensure that their promotion materials include detailed and accurate descriptions of any relevant facilities they provide, and that the quality of service to the disabled traveller encourages favourable comment through the networks to which the disabled now have access. Questions 1 What considerations would you take into account when arranging a 14-night package tour to Australia for a group of ten intellectually able but wheelchair-bound travellers from Japan? 2 What measures might be taken by a destination organisation to encourage the provision of disabled-friendly products in its region and to ensure that the relevant markets are made aware of their existence?

Travellers with disabilities The United Nations Year of the Disabled (1981) marked increasing recognition that in a just society the needs of people with disabilities must be met, along with those of other minority groups and the non-disabled. Countries such as Canada and Sweden, which are more welfare-oriented than Australia, have social tourism programs that encourage and facilitate travel by citizens who are disadvantaged for economic or other reasons. In Australia, legislation such as the Commonwealth Disability Discrimination Act (1992), and complementary State laws, make it illegal to discriminate against people on the grounds of disability. In the tourism industry there is now wide perception that destination managers must encourage operators to accommodate this principle when developing their products. The term 'disability' covers a variety of impairments - physical, psycho- logical and intellectual – which, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (1993), affect about 18 per cent of the Australian population. Almost 90 per cent of the disabilities are physical, while the rest are dassified as 'mental. Some, of course, are relatively mild and have minimal impact on a person's ability to travel, while those more severely afflicted cannot travel or may be able to travel only if accompanied by a car The most common constraint for people with disabilities is access. Many older establishments were not designed to accommodate such travellers, and man- agement may view the modifications required as both unnecessary and unaf- fordable. The costs of travel also impact heavily on the disabled, partly because of rer. their special requirements, but also because many of them, being dependent on welfare services, have lower than average incomes. However, the most difficult barrier to overcome is an attitudinal one. In the not-too-distant past, people with disabilities were commonly regarded as freaks, inferior or, at best, the responsibility of government and welfare agen- cies. Even today, some tourism operators and their staff are uncomfortable in dealing with them, and are concerned that the mere presence of people with disabilities will discourage non-disabled visitors who share these feelings of discomfiture. In the past, tourism operators have neglected this substantial sector partly through ignorance and partly because of the costs involved in making special provisions discrimination legislation, operators are identifying the disabled as an important market segment that can contribute to the profitability of the leisure travel industry. Although they may be more difficult to meet, the needs of the disabled are the same as those of the non-disabled - that is, as with all of us, the disabled require food and shelter, opportunities to socialise with other people, and experiences that contribute to self-esteem and self-actualisation.
