Conclusions. 330 $aThis book explores the growing demand for accessible tourism experiences and demonstrates how the perspective of digital ecosystems can play a vital role in creating more inclusive destinations. Through a combination of conceptual arguments and real-world case studies, the book sheds light on the practical aspects of accessible tourism. Statistics reveal that over one billion people have severe or moderate disabilities, emphasizing the urgent need for enhanced accessibility in tourism. However, both industry practices and academic research in this field are still lagging behind. The book highlights the challenge of establishing coordination among various stakeholders, including transport operators, hospitality firms, and public authorities, which has hindered the design and implementation of inclusive tourism experiences. By harnessing the power of new technologies, the book illustrates how digital ecosystems can effectively facilitate accessible tourism. It examines the demand for such experiences and demonstrates how embracing a digital ecosystem perspective can contribute to the development of more accessible tourism destinations. In addition to its theoretical insights, the book delves into several practical case studies that showcase successful examples of accessible tourism. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology,$x2191-5318 606 $aTourism 606 $aManagement 606 $aTechnological innovations 606 $aBusiness information services 606 $aQuality of life 606 $aTourism Management 606 $aInnovation and Technology Management 606 $aBusiness Information Systems 606 $aQuality of Life Research 615 0$aTourism. 615 0$aManagement. 615 0$aTechnological innovations. 615 0$aBusiness information services. 615 0$aQuality of life. 615 14$aTourism Management. 615 24$aInnovation and Technology Management. 615 24$aBusiness Information Systems. 615 24$aQuality of Life Research. 676 $a338.4791 676 $a658 700 $aCassia$b Fabio$0618267 701 $aCastellani$b Paola$01425173 701 $aRossato$b Chiara$0619072 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910742487203321 996 $aAccessible Tourism in the Digital Ecosystem$93555436 997 $aUNINA
