Factors to Factors to consider consider The first factor that I am going to consider is how open is the place to people with disablity. I must know how the people and the culture of that place sees PwD’s. it is better that the place we are going has knowledge or is aware how to manage disability. Also accessible pathways at attraction premise ,ramp and elevators at attractionsprovision for assistance-free movement in hoteleasily accessible tour operators

Factors to Factors to consider consider The second factor that I am going to consider is how disabled friendly is the place. I need to consider the architectural design in of the place to ensure that my wheelchair bound friend may enjoy the place with highest degree of independence with less participation restriction. Also the presence of proper facilities needed must be observed. I must know if the place is siutable. Eg. Have ramps, the doorway,

Factors to consider Factors to consider

In terms of hotel accommodation, I must first look at the place if its suits the need for my friend. I must consider the presence of ramp or if none they must have other means. The width of the doorways, the space if the corridors or inside the room that will provide him freedom to move around, the height of the bed for his safety transfer, the switch of light is near the bed and easily reach, I must also need to consider the bathroom, the width of the door, the presence of grab bars, as possible the bathroom must have hand shower. And also I need to consider the price, I must see to it that this place can give him high degree of independence but in a price he can afford. Also understanding of staff regarding special needs. Rooms are situated on appropriate and convenient location.

Factors to consider Factors to consider

In terms of transportation it will be better to have an own means of transportation because Even if public transportation is increasingly more accessible, vehicle design is not enough. It will be better is assistance offered to people with disabilities. And the cost effectiveness must also be considered in transportation, and also the means to with how the PwD will get in and out of the vehicle.

Factors to ConsiderFactors to Consider

In terms of choosing attraction and activities, toilets for pwd must be available and hygienic, availability of public utilities-telephones, toilet, water tap at convenient places, ramps are present but not all at required locations, sufficient laid pathways, presence of street crossings, presence and sufficient use of location signage, convenient reach points at attraction, Good viewing ranges, car parking facility for the disabled is has appropriate location

What hinders participationWhat hinders participation

What most likely hinder the participation for people with disability to engage to those 5 activities that I have listed is their intrinsic capabilities since it requires more skills. But if modification is done to suit their needs, they wont be encountering limited participation thus environmental aspect also affect the situation. Environment can hinder or facilitate engagement to such activities. For example the architectural design of the place, the law of the land, transportation etc.

RecommendationsRecommendations

Thorough planning of travel- this is the best way in avoiding necessary problems that will be encountered and this makes the travel experience more disabled friendly.

Make maps a.k.a mobility maps of the way in which PwD can go and is accessible and with less barriers – this will help the PwD’s to know which is the most appropriate place to go and to where they must


These maps can convey a great deal of information in a very compact form (hardcopy) or be downloadable or offer detail when “zoomable”. Goodmobility maps contain key pieces of information to the user. They can describe access in a city streetscape, botanic garden, park, zoo or other attraction like a theme park.

Contain:- Specific area coverage.-Accessible pathways- identification of key features; crossovers (kerb ramps/cuts), audio traffic signals

Universal design Perceptible information The design communicates necessary information effectively to the user, regardless of ambient conditions or the user’s sensory abilities


Removable ramps so that if there is a wheelchair bound person in that person and needed to go up the stairs thus this removable ramps can be provided for them.

Flexibility in use: design accommodates a wide range of individual preferences and abilities

Wider space in the area so that PwD can move easily in the place.

Size and space for approach and use: Appropriate size and space is [are provided for approach, reach, manipulation, and use regardless of the user’s size, posture or mobility


Brochures or services guides for people with disabilities, containing information to assist people determining whether an element of the attraction is appropriate. universal design involved is equitable use other person is able to use and be in the environment on equal terms with other citizens
