Іnclusive Tourism as an Innovative Social Service for People with Disabilities: Recommendations for Implementation

Abstract

The actualization of the development of inclusive tourism is enhanced by the fact that for people with disabilities tourism is not only a means of recreation and rehabilitation, promotes the activation of motor functions and support of physical fitness, but also a source, creating an environment for full interaction and elimination of feelings of inferiority, that in turn mobilizes mental health resources and restores the psycho-emotional mood of a person, and therefore, increases the level of his/her self-esteem and self-significance. The article examines possible ways of developing inclusive tourism as a social service for people with disabilities. The state of the provision of rehabilitation services for people with disabilities to improve the level of full-quality life has been determined, and the feasibility of providing rehabilitation services through inclusive tourism among social field professionals. Recommendations for the development and implementation of inclusive tourism as a social service for people with disabilities are offered.
