Focus
 Least restrictive travelling: The objective of JwB is to ensure that travellers with disabilities enjoy the experience of visiting a new place, have a comfortable stay and absorb the culture and environment of the area- all with minimal restrictions to their travel and mobility. The idea is to enable the disabled person to feel confident about being tourists and that they will not face many barriers.
JwB, through its partners ensures:
a) Basic accessibility in all the services, eg, accommodation and travel etc;
b) Provision of physical assistance where necessary, eg, while transferring from a vehicle, crossing the road etc; and
c) Safety within the services provided, eg , safe transfers to and from the wheel chair, safety while walking/climbing etc.
Economic viability to the stakeholders: We operate on the premise that it makes good business sense to promote inclusive tourism and therefore all the stakeholders will stand to gain economically. As majority of our stakeholders-especially the primary affiliate and service providers are from local communities, income generated from each enterprise will benefit and contribute to sustaining these local economies, in the long run. We will, thus, develop business plans, promote entrepreneurial skills of the stakeholders and develop marketing strategies for the venture.
Needless to say, each venture will be unique in the way it is developed, depending on the place, the tourism potential, the nature of the stakeholders and accessibility of the environment. |
