At its simplest, "hyphenated tourism" is a way of dscribing niches and demographics with the pattern "[adjective] + tourism."
But nothing is ever so simple, is it?
Inclusive Tourism is:
- Inclusive Design in the passionate embrace of wanderlust
- Human-Centered Design with a ticket to travel
- Universal Design on rails
- Visitability from hearth & home to hotel & harbor
- Accessibility of the jet-set on land, sea, sky
- Adapted Travel adapting the tourism industry
- Responsible Tourism responding to the world's 500 million people with disabilities
- Pro-Poor Tourism that has done the math and calculated the connection between disability and poverty.
- Geotourism with a passport into disability culture
It is braced for the shockwave of Boomer travel behavior as it dopplers and meets with the increase in their physical limitations.
Tourism, the world largest service industry, is a 21st century experiment in massive wealth redistribution. Inclusive Tourism assures that the industry's physical infrastructure and business values are appropriate and sustainable throughout the normal human lifecycle of all people - including changes in their functions and abilities.
