Abstract(s)
O presente artigo centra-se na reflexão dos aspetos associados ao desenvolvimento de destinos turísticos acessíveis, realçando as vantagens competitivas do desenvolvimento da oferta de bens e serviços turísticos adequados a segmentos da procura turística que, de forma transitória ou permanente, apresentam uma mobilidade reduzida ou limitações do foro sensorial ou intelectual. Pretende-se, em primeiro lugar, enquadrar estes temas do ponto de vista conceptual, analisando o estado da arte da investigação sobre esta temática e discutindo as vantagens competitivas do desenvolvimento de destinos turísticos acessíveis, associadas às tendências da procura turística.
Numa segunda parte, procura-se compreender estas questões analisando alguns casos de boas práticas, procurando realçar o carácter inovador dos projetos apresentados e, ao mesmo tempo, contribuir para a sua divulgação. A estratégia de divulgação constitui também uma forma de potenciar o desenvolvimento de produtos turísticos acessíveis pelo efeito pedagógico que pode ter nos responsáveis do sector e nos próprios turistas, tenham ou não incapacidade, contribuindo para atenuar alguns preconceitos e estereótipos que ainda perduram na nossa sociedade.
This paper addresses issues pertaining to the development of accessible tourism destinations. It sets forth the competitive advantages of developing goods and services that are adequate for a segment of tourists that may have permanent or transitory reduced mobility and/or sensory or intellectual impairment. In the first place, we offer the underlying conceptual framework that derives from analysing recent research and publications on the theme, so as to discuss the competitive advantage of developing accessible destinations, in line with tendencies in tourist demands. Secondly, we take the matter further by analysing instances of good practice and give relevance to the innovative nature of on-going projects, thus contributing to their dissemination. We see such dissemination as a means to enhance the development of accessible tourism and as a pedagogical tool to make providers and the tourists themselves, even those without a disability, aware of need to dissipate the prejudices and stereotypes that are still to be found in society.
