TOURISM, ACCESSIBILITY AND SAFETY: RESTRICTING FACTORS FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES VISIT A TOURIST DESTINATION
When choosing a tourist destination to visit, people consider both the motivating and limiting elements of that location. Among these factors, safety seems to be paramount in the decision of tourists, especially People with Disabilities (PWD). Therefore, through the use of qualitative methodology, with a theoretical-empirical approach, this work aimed to verify, through an opinion survey in a social network, which elements can restrict people with disabilities from going to a tourist destination. After evaluating the results, it was noticed that accessibility and public safety were pointed out as the most decisive when deciding whether or not to visit a certain destination.

Abstract:
When choosing a tourist destination to visit, people consider both the motivating and limiting elements of that location. Among these factors, safety seems to be paramount in the decision of tourists, especially People with Disabilities (PWD). Therefore, through the use of qualitative methodology, with a theoretical-empirical approach, this work aimed to verify, through an opinion survey in a social network, which elements can restrict people with disabilities from going to a tourist destination. After evaluating the results, it was noticed that accessibility and public safety were pointed out as the most decisive when deciding whether or not to visit a certain destination.
