Recenzii

In 25 Chapters, Best Practice in Accessible Tourism provides a 'state-of-the-art' assessment of both theory and practice. This book establishes a new field of study and provides the benchmark against which other contributions will be judged. It integrates the work of all the key players and should be read by academics, managers and government policy makers.Noel Scott, University of Queensland, AustraliaThe editors have assembled an excellent compilation of thought provoking, cutting edge international Chapters on best practice in accessible tourism. The text provides important insights into current practices and policies, but also critically reflects on what more needs to be done. This timely work is a must read for practitioners, policy makers and academics.David J. Telfer, Brock University, CanadaThe book makes a valuable contribution to a paradigm shift from extraordinary/special considerations for people with disability to inclusive citizenship for all. Best Practice in Accessible Tourism challenges the portrayal of people with disability as a burden and demonstrates with evidence the growing market potential of people with disability and the ageing.Arif Ongu, Equity and Diversity Unit, University of Technology, Sydney on the University Newsroom, 4th June 2012Overall this pioneering, interesting collection and detailed discussion of Accessible Tourism best-cases and shortcomings in many destinations is a must-read for tourism policy makers and consultants at the international, national and local levels, and, one hopes, that quality tourism practitioners in the ecotourism sector will also take an interest.Written by ECOCLUB.com http://ecoclub.com/headlines/reviews/832-120615-review
