ABSTRACT
|
This paper will using regional the Greater
Mekong Sub-Region case studies, highlight gaps in current regional heritage
practices in respect of : heritage and development of heritage trails,
revenue, the anchoring of tourist revenue, and development of the public consciousness
of history. This paper describes cultural heritage tourism, according to the
travelling to experience places and activities that authentically represent
stories and people of the past and present. Inclusive Tourism is a global
movement to ensure full social participation of all people with disabilities
in travel, citizenships and cultural contribution and in the process, to
assure the same for everyone else, writes Dr. Scott Rains. The discussion
issues related accessible tourism to cultural heritage places to identify
existing barriers as well as assessment and solutions approach to promote
cultural-heritage-inclusive tourism and barrier free design. More important
access increases the potential to enable people with disabilities to take
part in almost any area of life, and to be aware of the impact and business opportunities
that accessible tourism introduces. The forthcoming process of demographic
ageing will lead to a growing number of tourists with needs for more accessibility
and higher service quality also in tourism.
The result of this study will provide guidelines
on better practices of community engagement, community participation and
community resource development in respect of the culturally appropriate
management of heritage. In conclusion, good design improves accessibility for
all users who may benefit from tourism services without discriminating factors.
To ensure balanced recognition of the users’ interest, conservation planning
is deemed necessary to eliminate disabled access. Access for all heritage
areas is provided equally to all types of user who want to enjoy and
appreciate leisure in a friendly environment depicting distinctive traditions.
Universal design which offers equal accessibility to all types of user aims
to upgrade heritage places and raise awareness on the significance and value
of cultural heritage as well as inclusive travel and leisure holidays at an
international level.
