AccessAbility, a social enterprise recently decided to conduct a survey on Accessible Tourism for disable people, in association with Society for Accessible Travel & Hospitality (SATH). The new survey will figure out the spending capacity of disabled people during their travel and based on the survey the facilities required for them while travelling in buses and trains will be decided. The survey will be conducted through a market research company and will also involve expertise of SATH and Scott Rains who is a freelance consultant for Inclusive Tourism.

According to Shivani Gupta, Director, AccessAbility they have sent the proposal to the Ministry of Tourism (MoT) which is yet to be approved. AccessAbility also introduced a travel guide, which provides information on about 2,000 places in Delhi and NCR on their website, free2wheel, for disabled travellers visiting these two places. Gupta further informed that the new survey will figure out potential of including disabled people as clients for tourism business in India. Besides, it will also enable MoT to take appropriate steps in regard to the development of Acessible Tourism for disable people.
