Description
In the accessibility realm, individuals with disabilities face barriers, from physical constraints like narrow doorways to cognitive challenges such as unclear signs, limiting their participation in social and economic activities. Interestingly, these hurdles extend beyond the disability community, affecting older individuals and young families with specific access needs. SCIA is dedicated to dismantling these barriers universally, advocating for inclusive solutions that ensure accessibility as a fundamental right for everyone, regardless of age, ability, or family status.
Tourism Research Australia’s (TRA) National Visitor Survey (NVS) 2017 First Quarter data shows that:
- People with disability spent $3.3 billion on tourism services, accounting for 17 per cent of all tourism expenditure
- On average, people with disability spent more on day trips than people without disability, $111 compared with $106
- People with disability took around 9-million-day trips, which accounted for 21 per cent of all day trips
- People with disability spent on average $615 on overnight trips compared with $677 for people without disability
- Expenditure was $2.9 billion for older people and $2.7 billion for young families.
Accessibility is crucial for sporting events, music concerts and conferences:
- The events industry needs to even the playing field for disabled people when it comes to buying tickets and attending a live show, game, or concert. When it comes to booking an accessible seat, most venues allow for a person to book one seat next to them for a companion. But this prevents ticket holders from being able to sit with their friends and family. In the US, they can book up to three additional seats, in the same row, for friends or family members.
- Conference organisers and venue operators will have to accept that almost all future conferences will have to cater for people with a disability at all levels of client companies.
Accessibility is fundamental for aged care premises:
- One in five (19.4%) people with disability aged 80 years and over lived in cared-accommodation, and as our community continues to grow older, this percentage will continue to increase YOY.
- More than one in five (21.2%) people with a profound limitation lived in cared-accommodation.
