Abstract

The topics of inclusion and disability are currently discussed in modern society. In particular, the concept of accessibility draws a wide range of attention legislation, architecture and tourism. Accessible tourism is a quality perspective of tourism, and it provides a panorama of change and evolution. The paper, which focuses on the city of Rome, analyzes the advantages and criticisms of these "forgotten" and underestimated market niches. Information, transports, space distribution, and safety are involved in the development of the accessible destination. The paper opens a reflection about the opportunity and the perspective of improving a quality and accessible tourism in the Eternal City.
