The Effect of Attribute Factors and Constraint Attribute Factors of Tourism for the Disabled on Tourism Behavior Intention

Tourism plays a big role in practicing one's self-realization and improving the quality of life. However, the participation of the disabled in tourism faces various difficulties compared to general tourists. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to improve and improve the quality of tourism for the disabled by exploring the selection attribute factors and constraint attribute factors of tourism for the disabled. In August 2024, a panel survey was conducted through the Ministry of Rehabilitation Hospital of the National Rehabilitation Center, and a total of 150 people with disabilities in Korea responded to the questionnaire. The answered questionnaire was classified as a valid sample and analyzed through SPSS 26.0. As a result of the analysis, first, the 'tourism destination' factor among the attributes of tourists with disabilities' selection of tourist destinations affects the intention of tourism behavior for the disabled. It was found that the convenience, activity, accessibility and attractiveness of tourist destinations, and the environmental and specificity of food and beverage businesses have an effect. Second, among the factors of tourist restriction attributes of tourists with disabilities, 'institutional constraints' and 'facility constraints' affect the intention of tourism behavior for the disabled. The lack of support systems and direct help facilities for the disabled is believed to limit visits to tourist destinations. This study identifies the factors and constraints of tourists with disabilities' choice of tourist destinations and guarantees 'tourism rights' to tourists with disabilities, who are socially disadvantaged. It is of great significance in that it suggests that the tourism rights of the disabled should be protected in the future and tourist destinations should be improved in practice.
