I research and publish a travel guide, Easy Access Australia. Unfortunately we are deficient in Accessible Tourism research, but the workshop now set for July should help us plan for good access provision. I cordially invite you to attend the following:
====================
Sustainable Tourism CRC
presents a one-day workshop
Setting an Agenda for Disability and Tourism Research

The workshop will involve key researchers, industry partners, community organisations and government authorities concerned with disability and tourism.

While broadly looking at dimensions, approaches and issues surrounding disability and tourism, the workshop recognises the broad context of accessible tourism initiatives, incorporation of universal design principles and the development of easy access markets. Participants will look at the state of the field from the perspectives of supply, demand and regulation/coordination research and accessible tourism industry practice. The outcome will be identified research needs and a prioritised research strategy.

The workshop format will involve interactive sessions to:

  • assess the state of accessible tourism in Australia;
  • identify research needs and opportunities; and
  • establish a prioritised research agenda for accessible tourism in Australia for the STCRC.

The workshop is organised in conjunction with The Third International Event Management Conference and Inaugural Event Education and Research Network Australia Symposium (Sydney 13 - 15 July 2005).
