Abstract
To understand the concept of accessible tourism and its relationship with marketing, we need to define basic concepts such as universal accessibility and virtual accessibility. We must also know that universal accessibility must be considered, planned, and implemented for all. With these goals in mind, we have defined and provided some fundamental principles and examples of universal accessibility, as well as the International Symbols of Universal Accessibility. Next, we discuss the concepts and principles of virtual accessibility and inclusion. In a third point, we define Accessible Tourism and give suggestions that, when applied, contribute to more inclusive and accessible tourism. Finally, we address the relationship between Accessible Tourism and Marketing, which is crucial in promoting accessible tourism and aims to ensure that potential travelers with diverse needs are aware of the options available.
