Abstract

• Tourism literature recognises the uncertainty of what entails accessible tourism.
• A lack of awareness toward the wider disability spectrum is clearly present.
• Occupational therapists have expertise in understanding capacities of individuals.
• Interdisciplinary approach between tourism and occupational therapy required
• Tourism struggles to adopt such an approach, despite its interdisciplinary nature.
