“…Apart from education and industry, DEI has been studied extensively by marketing researchers. Topics including gender (Cowart & Wagner, 2021; Zayer et al, 2019), body shape (McFerran et al, 2010; Pounders, 2018), sexual orientation (Chan, 2021; Northey et al, 2020; Oakenfull & Greenlee, 2005; Ong et al, 2021), gender identity (Oakenfull, 2012), ethnicity (Peñaloza, 2018; Strebinger et al, 2018), physical disability (Benjamin et al, 2021), socioeconomic status (Chan & Zlatevska, 2019), scarcity (Roux et al, 2015) and religion (Cruz et al, 2018; Wilson & Grant, 2013) are just some of the areas that have begun to be explored in marketing research. However, the literature would benefit from a deepening of the application of cultural nuance and intersectionality, especially as it evolves generationally.…”

For managers, researchers and educators the world over, the past 2 years have presented some of the greatest challenges of their careers. Not only have they had to deal with disruption at the organisation and industry level, but a myriad of challenges also awaits them in the post-pandemic world. Unsurprisingly, the greatest challenges post-pandemic might be ensuring diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) are key priorities as organisations emerge from the crisis.

Traveling is something people with disabilities love just as much as other tourists. The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) predicts 1.8 billion international visitor arrivals globally by 2030, with people with disabilities contributing a portion of that figure. We could better understand the factors influencing People with Disabilities (PWDs) travel choices as a consequence of our study. Aside from that, this research investigated the influence of travel agents on travel choices. This research also looks at the ineffectiveness of current policies to enhance the accessibility of facilities for disabled visitors. This study's outcomes might be helpful in both the short and long term. In the short term, an accessible strategy may reconcile the requirements of disabled users with the limits of the current situation and the limited resources available. In the long term, this study would give a more comprehensive strategy to encourage restructuring and overhauling the hospitality and tourist sectors with equitable access for Malaysians. Apart from recovering tourism industries after the COVID-19 epidemic, it is a new chance to expand the number of travellers.

“…This implies that everyone can access it equally, independent of social, physical, and economic conditions. However, a large part of the population, such as people with disabilities (PwDs), still remain and, for the most part, are excluded from many tourism experiences as both producers and consumers (Bélanger and Jolin 2011; Benjamin, Bottone, and Lee 2021).…”

People with disabilities (PwDs) face various constraints connected to their participation in tourism activities. This topic has become of greater academic interest in recent years, however, the study of gender issues in this context is still marginal. The present paper seeks to analyze gender differences in PwDs’ propensity to travel, explicitly examining constraints that may limit social inclusion in tourism activities. The empirical analysis is focused on sample data of the Italian population of PwDs gathered through an online questionnaire administered between April and July 2020. The findings reveal gender differences in PwDs travel participation, underlining matters related to constraints “impose,” by society as a whole. The paper discusses the implications of breaking down barriers and provides insights into the tourism industry so as to ensure accessibility, accurate information, and inclusivity.
