“…Accessible tourism essentially replicates 'core resources and attractors' and the extent to which the four remaining factors incorporate the principles of independence, equity and dignity within destination management approaches will impact on the realisation of accessible destination experiences. To date only Israeli (2002), Ernawati & Sugiarti (2005) and Darcy and Small (2008) have examined precinct and destination management approaches to accessible tourism.…”

This article examines the concept of a whole-of-life approach to tourism through presenting the case for 'accessible tourism'. The importance of this approach is that it has been estimated that 30% of a population will have access requirements at any point in time, and most people will have a disability at some stage during their life. This article presents the case for proactively developing a strategic accessible tourism approach by presenting a brief background to the area. First, the article outlines the relationship between access, disability, ageing and tourism. Second, it reviews the development of easy access markets and accessible tourism, and places these in context to universal design. Third, the article overviews pertinent legislation that shapes the accessible tourism environment in Australia. Fourth, accessible environments are placed within context to destination management and accessible destination experiences. The article concludes by presenting four contemporary Australian examples of accessible destination experiences within broader destination management approaches.

“…The suburb that we call “Northburb” is characterized by rapid gentrification, increasing residential density, and a framing of diversity based on a service economy and a consumption‐focused lifestyle. Local policy links demographic diversity in Northburb primarily to “cosmopolitan consumption” (Binnie et al ) practices and the branding of Northburb as a “multicultural precinct.” The ethnic or multicultural “precinct” is a common concept in Australian urban planning and urban studies, referring to an ethnic neighborhood or quarter that urban development strategies have strategically repositioned into a site of tourism, leisure, and consumption (Darcy and Small ; Rath ). The most prominent historically are Sydney and Melbourne's Chinatowns, but local governments have also repositioned various “ethnoburbs” of multiethnic immigrant settlement outside of the inner city as multicultural precincts to attract both international tourists and local consumers from other parts of the city (Collins ).…”

Policy Narratives versus Everyday Geographies: Perceptions of Changing Local Space in Melbourne's Diverse North

This paper presents a comparative case study of two northern suburbs in Melbourne, Australia, in order to analyze local perceptions of proximity, mobility, and spaces of community interaction within diverse neighborhoods experiencing socioeconomic and demographic transition. We first look at government policies concerning the two suburbs, which position one suburb within a narrative of gentrification and the other within a narrative of marginalization. We then draw on diverse residents’ experiences and perceptions of local space, finding that these “everyday geographies” operate independently of and often at odds with local policy narratives of demographic and socioeconomic transition. We conclude that residents’ “everyday geographies” reveal highly varied and contested experiences of sociospatial dimensions of local change, in contrast to policy narratives that are often neoliberally framed.

“…Obisk mest nas popelje skozi spoznavanje zgodovine in kulturne dediščine ter kulturnih in umetniških dosežkov, predvsem pa nam omogoča spoznavanje lokalnih navad in običajev, kulinarike ter načina življenja lokalnih prebivalcev. Do 80. let prejšnjega stoletja je bilo proučevanje mestnega turizma precej omejeno in šele nato postalo del raziskovanj s področja turizma (Darcy, Small, 2008). Law (1994) je poudaril, da se mestni turizem zaradi zelo raznolike turistične ponudbe in nadpovprečno raznolikih motivov obiskovalcev v precejšnji meri razlikuje od drugih vrst turizma.…”

Po letu 2010 je prišlo do velikega porasta turističnega obiska v mestnih občinah, ki so postale najpomembnejša skupina turističnih občin (z okoli 29 % vseh prihodov turistov in 36 % prihodov tujih turistov v Sloveniji v letu 2019). Velik del rasti turističnega obiska je prispevala prav mestna občina Ljubljana, v kateri je bilo v letu 2019 zabeleženih 18 % vseh prihodov turistov in 23 % prihodov tujih turistov v Sloveniji. Pandemija covida-19 je najbolj prizadela prav mestne občine. Na koncu prispevek izpostavlja, da je na eni strani Ljubljana postala ena najhitreje rastočih in pomembnih turističnih destinacij v Srednji Evropi, na drugi strani pa se povečan turistični obisk Slovenije ni odrazil v obisku drugih mestnih občin, kot so npr. Celje, Murska Sobota, Velenje, Slovenj Gradec in Krško, ki močno zaostajajo tako po številu turistov kot po deležu tujih turistov. To očitno kaže na njihov relativno majhen turistični potencial kot tudi skromno razvitost turistične ponudbe in infrastrukture.
