“…However, no studies were found that evaluated both the apps and websites of the same institution or company, whether public or private. Moreover, from the perspective of digital accessibility, two studies in sectors related to tourism stand out in particular: The first is on the accessibility of India's e-governance mobile apps [13], and the second is on air quality monitoring apps (focused on clean air) [14], but both are based on the analysis of mobile accessibility through the implementation of Google's Accessibility Scanner tool.…”

“Tourism for all” is based on three main aspects: accessible tourism, sustainable tourism and social tourism. Accessibility is an essential part of responsible and sustainable tourism. A sizable segment of the population comprises people who have a type of disability or people who are older and, as a result of age, experience diminished physical and/or mental abilities. The aim of this study is to analyze whether the mobile applications and websites of Portuguese and Spanish Destination Management Organizations (DMOs) are accessible. For this purpose, accessible destinations listed by the Tur4all project were taken as a sample for a quantitative exploratory study. Several tools related to accessibility were used to determine their level of compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. The results reveal that the percentage of non-compliance with accessibility criteria is very high in DMOs in Portugal and especially in Spain. In conclusion, tourism for all is important, including its digital tools. The practical implications include guidance on accessibility for institutions and companies, as well as a need to raise awareness of its importance in the tourism sector. This is the only study that analyzes the accessibility of both apps and websites of the same institution according to the requirements in WCAG 2.1.

“…In a separate assessment, WCAG 2.0 was also used to evaluate 20 e-governance based mobile applications by using Google Accessibility Scanner [22]. This study revealed several major issues related to the lack of labels and descriptions, color contrast, button size, lack of help features, and several other related concerns.…”

“…Generally, those studies doi: primarily involved assessing mobile apps against specific guidelines. In addition to these approaches, the utilization of the Accessibility Scanner tool is utilized for the evaluation of air quality monitoring, e-governance, and various other categories [21][22][23].…”

In today’s education sector, mobile technologies, including tablets and smartphones, have become integral tools, enabling the implementation of mobile learning in pedagogical activities. However, accessibility issues in mobile applications pose challenges, particularly for individuals with disabilities, contradicting the goals of Sustainable Development and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. This paper aims to investigate the extent to which the industry considers accessibility in designing mobile learning applications for this specific user group. We evaluate the accessibility of interactive mobile applications designed for reading and alphabet learning, employing two different guidelines, by conducting heuristic evaluation based on research-based guideline and a design standard introduced by The World Wide Web Consortium. Three experts, each bringing a unique perspective and background, were engaged in the evaluation process. The heuristic evaluations were executed based on the criteria outlined in the selected guidelines. This involved identifying violations and employing a scoring system to quantify the findings. Subsequently, the experts engaged in discussions to achieve consensus and establish final scores for each checkpoint. The results provided a quantitative basis for our analysis. The results of the evaluation performed in this study expose a prevalent disregard for guideline checkpoints among these interactive mobile learning apps. Only two applications could be considered highly inclusive, indicating the need of improvement. Based on the results, the accessibility criteria were also categorized into four primary groups, highlighting the requirements that were least and most addressed by the applications.

“…The Webometrics and WCAG are both standards thought about for examination of internet sites and located variants in their monitoring in non-technical as well as technological elements [16]. [20]. The study has examined different classifications of mobile applications with success requirements offered in stipulated guidelines.…”

The Internet has revolutionized and became a major option to obtain information. The complete faith of any individual or organization depends on the official website they are using. Therefore, it is the duty of organizations to provide a website design environment in such a way that even a visually disabled person can access the content without any issues. In view of a website content accessibility importance, the present article has reviewed some of the literature to study how the web content accessibility has been done, what architecture they have used, what suggestions they made and the limitations of those studies. The article also studied only the literature that considered W3C WCAG 2.0 guidelines for website evaluation. The main objective of the present article is to summarize the observations of the existing literature and identify the influencing factors on the quality of a website. The present work also studied the various approaches that are implemented by the researchers to evaluate the website quality. Finally, a comparative analysis was made and determined the outcomes as results and made a few discussions to identify some other technical and non-technical barriers if any
