The administration of the cross-border survey on Digital Frontiers and Accessible Tourism, which saw the Department of Political and Social Sciences of the University of Trieste and Quolity engaged with project partners in probing the behaviour and expectations in organising and living a tourist experience of people with physical, sensorial and cognitive disabilities or with fragilities due to ageing, has been concluded.
The questionnaire in three languages (Italian, Slovenian and English) focused on travel experiences, motivations, planning, use of transport and services, accommodation, staff training, use of ICT, etc., and was administered both online, through a targeted advertisement on Facebook, and in person, reaching a total of over 400 people.
Collaboration with Beletrina, the Mosaic Consortium and the Union of the Blind and Visually Impaired of Slovenia, project partners, made it possible to administer the questionnaire in person, in some cases gathering respondents into small groups homogeneous by level of disability, and also involving one or more facilitators - educators, family members, psychologists, instructors, etc. - who knew the members of the group well and, above all, the best ways to relate to them.
The interviewers were thus able to access facilities of services, such as social cooperatives, of inclusive sports, such as baskin, or of associations engaged with fragility. The online questionnaire remains open to continue collecting further responses: THE QUESTIONNAIRE
