Abstract

Tema ovog rada je inkluzivnost u turizmu s posebnim naglaskom na osobe s oštećenjem vida i njezina važnost u kontekstu stvaranja ravnopravnog i pristupačnog turističkog okruženja. Iako je inkluzivni turizam samo jedan aspekt šire turističke industrije, broj osoba s invaliditetom i njihovih specifičnih potreba ne može se zanemariti pri razmatranju strategija za razvoj turističke infrastrukture i ponude. Rad istražuje kako prilagodbe usmjerene na osiguravanje pristupačnosti i ravnopravnosti za osobe s oštećenjem vida mogu poboljšati ukupnu održivost turističkog sektora. Analiziraju se postojeće prepreke, kao i primjene tehnoloških inovacija i najbolje prakse koje omogućuju osobama s oštećenjem vida kvalitetno i pristupačno turističko iskustvo. Rad također razmatra ulogu Hrvatske kao turističke destinacije u Europskoj uniji, naglašavajući važnost implementacije inkluzivnih strategija za dugoročni gospodarski rast i društvenu pravdu unutar sektora turizma.

Abstract (english)

The focus of this thesis is inclusivity in tourism, with a particular emphasis on individuals with visual impairments, and its significance in creating an equitable and accessible tourism environment. Although inclusive tourism is just one aspect of the broader tourism industry, the number of people with disabilities and their specific needs cannot be overlooked when considering strategies for the development of tourism infrastructure and services. The thesis explores how adaptations aimed at ensuring accessibility and equality for individuals with visual impairments can enhance the overall sustainability of the tourism sector. The analysis includes existing barriers, as well as the application of technological innovations and best practices that enable visually impaired individuals to enjoy a high-quality and accessible tourism experience. The paper also examines Croatia's role as a tourist destination within the European Union, highlighting the importance of implementing inclusive strategies for long-term economic growth and social justice within the tourism sector.
