Fáilte Ireland's 2022 publication, The Introductory Guide to Accessible Tourism, offers insightful information for Irish enterprises. It defines accessible tourism and goes beyond conventional ideas of what constitutes a "disability." The handbook clarifies common misconceptions, highlights business prospects, and provides teams with an overview of how to improve accessibility in their travel offerings. Businesses may open up new market segments and support the growth of sustainable tourism by promoting accessibility.
