Accessible Tourism Overview: -Tourism is the largest and fastest

growing industry in the 21st century (WTO, 2015). an introduction Tourism is largely concerned with the participants and not those involved Excluded from participation (Smith, 1987). Those who are "left out", overlooked, ignored, or The outcasts of tourism are usually marginalized on the basis of their low socio-economic status, Race, origin, age, gender, ability, or crossover Implications of These Domains of Identity. From the Position of (People with Disabilities) (Jillovich et al., 2018 )to discuss disability language Academic development of a field that began with the examination of tourism and disability, prior to Conceptual development of accessible tourism . Then we look at the future of access to it Tourism in terms of the three main factors that have the potential to enable the provision of Equality of destination experiences accessible to the group worldwide . Perspectives of the Past Tourism and Disability: From-WWII to (2020) The early intersection of tourism and disability is often attributed to the development of the Stoke Mandeville Games, which later evolved into the Paralympic Games of the 1960 . (Darcy et al., 2017). However, outside the sporting context, PWD who have a desire to travel are largely absent from the history of tourism due to its inaccessibility in terms of transportation and accommodation (Van Horn and Isola, 2006). It was not until the United States that the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (1975) and the 1976 Declaration. 10-20 percent of the world's population, or about 650 million people, have a disability. It is estimated that persons with disabilities will rise to 1.2 billion by 2050 due to a variety of social factors (WHO and World Bank, 2011).

Conditions Disabled travel emerged as a group of academics and travel for scholarships. Travel for people with disabilities grew after it was extremely complex, and there was more appreciation that restrictions (Daniels et al., 2005) vary according to the type of disability and level of support needs (Darcy, 2010; Darcy and Bohalis, 2011) and across sectors of industry (Bohalis et al., 2012). This understanding led to reformulating the concept and taking the necessary measures (McKercher and Darcy, 2018). Facilitating travel that achieves accessibility by providing infrastructure that applies accessible tourism standards. (Bohalis & Darcy, 2011, pp. 10-11)

The rapid growth of the tourism industry has brought about many changes in the way tourists view the tourism product on offer. In recent years, along with the development of mass tourism, there has been the development and use of various alternative forms of tourism that are distinguished by special dynamics and diversity. Affordable tourism is one of the alternative forms of tourism, and it is characterized as a newly emerging tourism market, which has shown a growing trend in the past decades. This is due to the fact that tourists are more experienced, more demanding and more selective in the way they conduct their tourist activities. It is widely accepted that people with or without disabilities have the same desire to travel. Their desire and the special needs of this niche source market have contributed to the development of the accessible tourism model. This tourism model uses all the elements that a tourism product needs. The concept of “accessible tourism” refers to the adaptation of environmental resources, services and tourism products, in order to allow all visitors to access, use and enjoy, based on international principles and design standards (WTO, 2016).
