Abstract

This chapter explores the increasing importance of home healthcare technologies in facilitating tourism participation among elderly and disabled populations. As the global aging demographic expands, the tourism sector must adapt to accommodate diverse accessibility needs. The chapter highlights how emerging technologies such as wearable healthcare devices, smart city infrastructure, and mobile navigation applications support greater autonomy and mobility for individuals with disabilities. Drawing on key statistical projections and academic literature, it addresses the concept of accessible tourism, the challenges disabled travelers face, and the role of inclusive technologies in overcoming physical and digital barriers. In doing so, this chapter emphasizes not only the social equity benefits but also the economic potential of integrating inclusive practices into tourism systems.
