تجربه گردشگری مشترک افراد معلول و مراقبان آنها

This research took a phenomenological approach to delineate shared tourism experiences of people who need assistance when traveling and their caregivers. If travel represents a temporary escape of everyday routines for an average traveler, travel for this group was found to represent a magnifying everydayness as they continue to be challenged with limitations as a result of disability. As demonstrated in the intensity of emotions and the mixed nature of them, tourism represents an extraordinary experience for this traveler segment despite the ordinary nature of their travel activities. Important insights are drawn with relation to the role of travel in the development of resistance strategies adopted by individuals with disabilities and their caregivers, as well as their value tendency for eudaimonic wellness.
