India's Slow Progress in Accessible Tourism

India's Slow Progress in Accessible Tourism

Imagine trying to go on vacation, but it's hard to get around because of things like wheelchairs or vision problems.

That's the problem in India right now, where it's not easy for people with disabilities or older folks to travel.

While the country's tourism industry is growing, it hasn't focused on making places accessible.

Many hotels and tourist spots don't have the right features.

But, some travel companies are starting to offer trips designed for accessibility, and more travelers are asking for help.

Other countries are doing better by making it easier for everyone to get around.

The need for change is growing because India's population is aging and accessibility is becoming a must-have in travel.
