Using statistical tools such paired t-tests, this study examines how accessible Ghana's tourist industry is to people with disabilities. The results show that tourist attractions have a moderate level of physical and mental accessibility, with staff attitudes and walkways showing some degree of accommodation. According to the study's findings, closing these gaps calls for improved infrastructure, focused regulatory enforcement, and inclusive communication tactics. However, government incentives, policy execution, and communication and information accessibility are considered insufficient. methods for immunization. It suggests encouraging travel agencies to adopt inclusive practices, implementing technology-driven communication solutions, and enhancing both physical and mental accessibility. Resolving these issues not only guarantees PWD equity but also opens up social and economic advantages, positioning Ghana as a world leader in inclusive travel.
