THE SITUATION OF ACCESSIBLE TOURISM IN HUNGARY IN THE LIGHT OF THE LITERATURE

Summary/Abstract: In Hungary, accessible tourism has been an under-researched area of tourism research for a long time. Only in the last few years has this changed, with a few researchers becoming interested in the scrutiny of this topic. The authors therefore present the Hungarian focus of research on this issue by reviewing the Hungarian literature. In order to provide a more complex understanding of accessible tourism, the authors also present the most relevant international literature in addition to the Hungarian research results. The issue of accessible tourism concerns at least 10% of the European population. So, beyond the social and societal importance of the issue, it is not a negligible number from a market point of view, either. Understanding the expectations and specific consumer habits of the stakeholders is essential to develop an appropriate offer and to ensure equal access to services. Recognising this, the last few years have seen a significant increase in research interest and a proliferation of articles on accessible tourism.
