Stakeholders
We have identified four main stakeholders, through whom we will promote the venture:
The primary affiliate: JwB will engage with any individual/ group with an interest in such a venture. The individual/group may or may not have a prior experience in tourism, but should be willing to pioneer such an initiative and take the responsibilities that go with it.
We specially encourage individuals with disabilities/ disability groups to promote these ventures.
Service providers: This will include the range of service provides to the tourism industry - hotels, restaurants, tour operators, taxi operators, environment clubs, architects, etc. Making these businesses accessible will be a large part of JwB’s focus. Towards this, JwB will conduct access audits, lobby for better access, provide training on access issues and promote these as responsible ventures in the travel industry. JwB's endeavour will be to promote design for all-so that it enables a wide range of people from a wide range of situations to access the services. This will, naturally, increase their turnover and be more economically beneficial to the service providers.
Department of tourism, local and national: The Ministry of Tourism in India, has started promoting inclusion in its agenda. We will involve the local tourism departments to ensure that the policies translate well as a practice.
