This label is designed for customers with special needs so that they can receive 
reliable information on the accessibility of leisure and holiday venues, for all 4 types of 
disabilities.
The label may be granted for one, two, three or four disabilities (motor, mental, 
visual, auditory). 
As society develops, the status of tourism changes from being socially desirable 
to being a necessity. No less so is this for those who have various physical and other 
disabilities. This paper examines secondary data derived from Italian sources to 
illustrate both the demand for tourism from those with disabilities, and the factors that 
both inhibit and enhance the opportunities they have for participation in tourism. It 
provides a geographical assessment of tourism provision within Italy and identifies 
areas of good and poor provision for this market segment. Implications for tourist 
providers are discussed. 
There are usually two main conceptual models of disability. The medical model 
treats disability as an individual-specific property as a result of illness, injury, or other 
effects on health, which requires medical care in the form of direct treatment from 
specialists. Disability in this model requires medical or other intervention or treatment 
to “fix” a person’s problem. The social model, on the other hand, sees disability as a 
social problem rather than as an individual’s property. According to the social model, 
disability requires political intervention because the problem stems from the inadequacy 
of the environment resulting from the attitudes and other characteristics of the social 
environment. This model requires the integration of people with disabilities into the 
surrounding society, adaptation to living conditions in the community, including those 
with disabilities. Creating this comfortable environment (disability, ramps and special 
elevators for the blind, duplication of visual and textual information and duplication of 
audio information for the deaf, as well as the implementation of measures to promote 
employment) to teach communication skills. 
This type of tourism is the most common in many countries around the world. 
There is a perception that the "free" income of people with disabilities is low. This is 
often the case, but those who are with them have a higher income. Those who have 
limited access to the local government electorate have great economic potential. 
The capital of the Spanish province of Catalonia is becoming a real holiday 
destination for people with disabilities. Urban transport and the central streets of 
Barcelona have been adapted to their needs. The Barcelona Tourism Council places 
great emphasis on tourism that is accessible to people with disabilities. Special catalogs 
for people with disabilities in tourism infrastructure are published. Events will be held, 
including the Paralympic Games. All of the city’s central streets are equipped with 
ramps, and all buses have custom rooms that are accessible to people with disabilities. A 
special website, Accessible Tourism, has been created with all the information about
