Accessibility in Tourism: A Must for Inclusive India
Experts at the KTM 2026 seminar urge for audits in tourism destinations and training in disability-friendly practices for stakeholders.
In a significant call for change, speakers at the KTM 2026 seminar emphasized the urgent need to prioritize accessibility in tourism planning. They argued that tourism destinations must undergo thorough audits to ensure they cater to individuals with disabilities. Furthermore, they highlighted the necessity of training stakeholders in disability-friendly practices to foster an inclusive environment for all.
With India striving to be a global tourism hub, the question arises: Are we leaving behind a substantial segment of our population? Citizens must demand accountability from authorities to ensure that our tourism infrastructure is not just welcoming but accessible to everyone.
As reported by The Hindu, the seminar's discussions underline a crucial step towards inclusivity in tourism, urging stakeholders to embrace practices that support diverse needs. Will the government take action to implement these recommendations and uphold the rights of all citizens in the tourism sector?
