Conclusions.This book explores the growing demand for accessible tourism experiences and demonstrates how the perspective of digital ecosystems can play a vital role in creating more inclusive destinations. Through a combination of conceptual arguments and real-world case studies, the book sheds light on the practical aspects of accessible tourism. Statistics reveal that over one billion people have severe or moderate disabilities, emphasizing the urgent need for enhanced accessibility in tourism. However, both industry practices and academic research in this field are still lagging behind. The book highlights the challenge of establishing coordination among various stakeholders, including transport operators, hospitality firms, and public authorities, which has hindered the design and implementation of inclusive tourism experiences. By harnessing the power of new technologies, the book illustrates how digital ecosystems can effectively facilitate accessible tourism. It examines the demand for such experiences and demonstrates how embracing a digital ecosystem perspective can contribute to the development of more accessible tourism destinations. In addition to its theoretical insights, the book delves into several practical case studies that showcase successful examples of accessible tourism.SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology,2191-5318TourismManagementTechnological innovationsBusiness information servicesQuality of lifeTourism ManagementInnovation and Technology ManagementBusiness Information SystemsQuality of Life ResearchTourism.Management.Technological innovations.Business information services.Quality of life.Tourism Management.Innovation and Technology Management.Business Information Systems.Quality of Life Research.338.4791658Cassia Fabio618267Castellani Paola1425173Rossato Chiara619072MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910742487203321Accessible Tourism in the Digital Ecosystem3555436UNINA
