“…Although studies on disabilities and tourism generally centre on people with physical disabilities (Burnett and Baker, 2001;Daniels et al, 2005;Bi et al, 2007;Blichfeldt and Nicolaisen, 2011;Hua et al, 2013), other studies focus on sensory impairment (Poria et al, 2009;Yau et al, 2004). Daniels et al (2005) analysed travel constraints and the negotiation strategies of people with physical disabilities, while Hua et al (2013) identified constraints that this sub-segment must face when experiencing sport tourism.…”

In Spain, more than 2.5 million people live with some form of disability (Imserso, 2014). Tourism constraints are defined as factors influencing travel participation and behaviour, and can be divided into three categories: intrapersonal, interpersonal, and structural. The aim of this exploratory study is to develop and validate a measurement scale for each of these types of tourism constraints faced by 248 Spanish tourists with disabilities. The results show that intrapersonal constraints are due to three factors: lack of knowledge, health-related problems, and physical and psychological dependency. Interpersonal constraints are divided into two factors: skill-challenge incongruities and communication. Structural constraints are classified into four factors: information and communication, cost and attendant, socio-spatial, and attitudinal. Taking into consideration the importance of this market segment both in Spain and all over the world, this study provides tourism destinations with a quantitative tool for evaluating the barriers tourists with special access needs may encounter at a destination. Keywords: accessible tourism; tourism for all; disability; barriers Resumen. Barreras turísticas para turistas españoles con discapacidad: desarrollo y validación de una escalaEn España, más de 2,5 millones de personas viven con algún tipo de discapacidad (Imserso, 2014). Las barreras turísticas se pueden definir como factores que influencian la participación y el comportamiento de los turistas y se dividen en tres categorías: intrapersonales, interpersonales y estructurales. El objetivo de este estudio exploratorio es desarrollar y validar una escala para medir los tipos de barreras que 248 turistas españoles con algún tipo de discapacidad deben afrontar cuando viajan. Los resultados muestran que de las barreras intrapersonales derivan tres factores distintos: falta de conocimiento, problemas de salud y dependencia física y psicológica. Las barreras interpersonales se dividen en dos factores: incongruencias entre habilidad y reto, y comunicación. Las barreras estructurales se clasifican en cuatro factores: información y comunicación, coste y cuidador, socio-espaciales, y de actitud. Teniendo en cuenta la importancia de este segmento de mercado en España y el resto del mundo, el artículo aporta una herramienta cuantitativa para que los destinos turísticos puedan evaluar las barreras turísticas que estos turistas con necesidades especiales de accesibilidad pueden encontrar cuando los visitan. Palabras clave: turismo accesible; turismo para todos; discapacidad; barreras Résumé.

“…Consequently, experiencing positive emotions and overcoming weakness and apathy are very important motives for tourism for the disabled potential tourists (popiel, 2016). According to McKercher, Packer, Yau, Lam (2003), there are intrinsic, economic, environmental, and interactive constraints for participating in tourism activities (Hua, Ibrahim and Chiu, 2013). McKercher, Packer, Yau, Lam (2003) and Opening Doors (2002) found that lack of knowledge is one of the major barriers for disabled guests (Grady and Ohlin 2009).…”
