Download or read book 101 Accessible Vacations written by Candy B Harrington and published by Demos Medical Publishing. This book was released on 2007-11-27 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 101 Accessible Vacations: Travel Ideas for Wheelers and Slow Walkers is the first guidebook dedicated exclusively to wheelchair-accessible destinations, lodgings and recreational opportunities. Penned by Candy B. Harrington, the editor of Emerging Horizons, this new title focuses on the vacation planning needs of wheelchair-users and slow walkers. 101 Accessible Vacations contains destination information on over 101 cities, lodging options, national parks, tourist attractions and recreational activities around the country. The book is organized so readers can search for a holiday based on their specific interests or travel styles. Unlike other guidebooks that are organized geographically, 101 Accessible Vacations includes sections ranging from Road Trips and The Great Outdoors to Historic Haunts and Cruisin. And last but not least, there is Candy's Picks, which includes a collection of some of the author's favorite trips, destinations and activities. Candy describes the access of all attractions, lodging options and tourist sights, rather than just stating that something is or isn't accessible. After all, accessibility is in the eye of the beholder; and what may be accessible to one person can be filled with obstacles to someone else. Says Harrington, There's a world of travel choices out there for wheelers and slow walkers. And this book contains many of those choices; along with updated resources, information and access details to make them a reality.

Download or read book Accessible Tourism written by Dimitrios Buhalis and published by Channel View Publications. This book was released on 2011 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inclusion, disability, an ageing population and tourism are increasingly important areas of study due to their implications for both tourism demand and supply. This book therefore sets out to explore and document the current theoretical approaches, foundations and issues in the study of accessible tourism. In drawing together the contributions to this volume the editors have applied broader social constructionist approaches to understanding the accessible tourism phenomena. Accessible tourism, as with any area of academic study is an evolving field of academic research and industry practice. As with other areas of tourism, the field is multidisciplinary, and is influenced by various disciplines including geography, disability studies, economics, public policy, psychology and marketing. "As one would expect from two scholars at the height of their academic abilities, Dimitrios Buhalis and Simon Darcy have delivered a timely and much needed contribution to the under-served area of accessible tourism. Harnessing the best conceptual developments on the topic, Accessible Tourism is a scholarly yet hugely readable collection and readily communicates the various contributors' passion for and command of their subject. This collection is a must have text for anyone engaged in the theory, practice and policy of accessible tourism and will be essential reading on undergraduate and postgraduate courses across a range of disciplines and fields. I cannot speak highly enough of this endeavour and I'm sure it will take accessible tourism and universal design debates into the mainstream of academic enquiry and industry practice." Professor Nigel Morgan, The Welsh Centre for Tourism Research, University of Wales Institute, Cardiff, Wales

Download or read book What Happened to You written by Sylvia Longmire and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One woman. Four wheels. No limits. Between late 2015 and early 2021, award-winning accessible travel writer Sylvia Longmire visited 48 countries (34 of those solo), 176 cities, flew 444,714 miles, and spent 522 days away from home-all while completely relying on an electric wheelchair for mobility. Some call her crazy for traveling alone without the ability to walk, while others call her courageous for breaking the many stereotypes associated with disability. She just calls herself fortunate to have the opportunity to see so much of the world while her multiple sclerosis slowly progresses. But this book isn't just about the sights and landmarks and landscapes Sylvia has seen, from Singapore and Sydney to Dublin and Dubai. It's also about all the fascinating, curious, unusual, and helpful people she has met along the way, and the lessons they've taught her about the world-and herself. Some of her travel stories are funny, some are introspective, and others are downright gut-wrenching. But as you'll read in these pages, they serve as the ultimate answer to the most common of questions asked of wheelchair users everywhere: 'What happened to you?'
