Abstract

Legal and structural arrangements are made in many countries, especially in developed countries, in order for the disabled population to benefit from accommodation businesses equally and with dignity in the context of the right to travel and benefit from tourism activities of the disabled population, which is rapidly increasing in the world and in our country. With the implementation of these regulations, it is observed that the number of disabled individuals participating in tourism activities has increased. Structural arrangements that allow individuals with disabilities to have their holidays alone and freely and benefit from the activities offered, without the need for any assistance or with very little assistance, provide significant contributions. In this study, it is aimed to determine the standards of disabled-friendly accommodation businesses as a result of examining the data obtained from the studies in the in accessible tourism literature on the disabled-friendly accommodation enterprises that allow disabled individuals to have a free, dignified and equal holiday. In the context of accessible tourism, studies that reveal the needs, wishes and suggestions of the disabled individuals forming the demand front and the accommodation establishments forming the supply front are discussed. In addition, the work carried out by the relevant public institutions, especially the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Ministry of Family and Social Policies, which have the duty to meet the expectations of both fronts and bear legal responsibility, were examined. In this direction, a draft study was prepared to determine and regulate the standards of disabled friendly accommodation establishments.

Özet

Dünya’da ve ülkemizde hızla artan engelli nüfusunun temel seyahat etme ve turizm faaliyetlerinden yararlanma hakkı bağlamında başta gelişmiş ülkelerde olmak üzere birçok ülkede engellilerin diğer bireylerle birlikte eşit ve onurlu bir şekilde konaklama işletmelerinden yararlanabilmesi için yasal ve yapısal düzenlemeler yapılmaktadır. Bu düzenlemelerin hayata geçirilmeye başlanmasıyla birlikte turizm faaliyetlerine katılan engelli bireylerin sayısının arttığı gözlemlenmektedir. Özellikle engelli bireylerin konaklama işletmelerinde herhangi bir yardıma gereksinim duymadan veya çok az bir yardım desteğiyle tek başına ve özgür bir şekilde tatil yapabilmesine ve sunulan faaliyetlerden yararlanabilmesine imkân sağlayan yapısal düzenlemeler önemli katkılar sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada erişilebilir turizm alanyazınında engelli bireylerin özgür, onurlu ve eşit bir şekilde tatil yapmasına imkân sağlayan engelli dostu konaklama işletmeleri konusunda yapılan çalışmaların ve bu çalışmalarda elde edilen verilerin incelenmesi sonucunda engelli dostu konaklama işletmeleri standartlarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Erişilebilir turizm bağlamında, talep cephesini oluşturan engelli bireylerin ve arz cephesini oluşturan konaklama işletmelerinin gereksinimlerini, isteklerini ve önerilerini ortaya koyan çalışmalar ele alınmıştır. Ayrıca, her iki cephenin beklentilerini karşılama görevi olan ve yasal sorumluluk taşıyan başta Kültür ve Turizm Bakanlığı ve Aile ve Sosyal Politikalar Bakanlığı olmak üzere ilgili kamu kuruluşlarının yapmış olduğu çalışmalar incelenmiştir. Bu doğrultuda engelli dostu konaklama işletmeleri standartlarının saptanması ve düzenlenmesi için taslak çalışma hazırlanmıştır.
