Summary/Abstract: Barrier-free tourism gives people with physical and intellectual disabilities a chance to experience tourism, as do their healthy peers. The need of people with disabilities to participate in tourism is becoming more common these days. However, the offer of barrier-free tourism services available in Hungary significantly narrows their possibilities. In Hungary, there are only a few companies that specialize in or support barrier-free tourism. A hopeful exception is the good practice of a social enterprise in Szekszárd presented in the study. The example of the Kék Madár Alapítvány (Blue Bird Foundation) also highlights that people with disabilities can and should be considered not only as guests but also as employees in the tourism sector.
