Accessible tourism, Disability-friendly infrastructure, Tourism developmentAbstract
This research aims to assess the level of accessibility of tourism infrastructure for people with disabilities and analyze the challenges faced in its development. Qualitative research method was employed with descriptive analysis of data from sources such as the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), and previous studies. The findings indicate that tourism infrastructure is still far from adequate in meeting the needs of tourists with disabilities. Lack of regulations, budget constraints, and insufficient staff training are the primary challenges. As a solution, the Development Model of Disability-Friendly Tourism Infrastructure is recommended, including physical design considerations for accessibility, staff training, and provision of easily accessible information. Collaboration among government, tourism industry, and civil society is crucial in creating a more inclusive tourism environment.
