The significance and need of tourism for people with disabilities

Abstract

In modern Lithuanian society, next to various social groups, there is also a very specific and sensitive group - the disabled. It is distinguished by its status and inherent problems that exist in all areas of social life: education, living conditions, communication, social life and work system. After the change in the ideology of social integration of the disabled, integration of the disabled into society is an officially declared aspiration. In order to integrate a disabled person into society, his needs must be taken into account. One of the needs of a disabled person is the adaptability of public and private environments. Disability is a societal problem that arises because society itself limits the activities of a disabled person. And only social measures and society's actions can remove the obstacles for the disabled person to function as a member of society.
