Ecological tourism for the elderly and people with special needs

Ecological tourism, as a tourism specialisation, has proved capable of combining the experience of living in a natural space with the formation of ecological awareness and environmental conservation in certain contexts. The lack of specific services for elderly tourists and those with special needs is pronounced by the absence of tourist packages aimed at them, as well as adapted spaces and professionals prepared to cater for them. Offering products that satisfy the interests and needs of these people, combined with the efficient, more sustainable and accessible use of existing physical resources, would favour greater inclusion of these tourists through Ecological Tourism. This book is aimed at researchers, public managers, businesspeople and the wider community interested in the subject, with the aim of favouring discussion about an area that is still in its infancy, but which nevertheless has extremely high potential, certainly one of the greatest in the world.
