Since 2015, South Korea has developed 182 'Barrier-Free' tourist attractions to ensure equal tourism rights for people with disabilities, the elderly, pregnant women, and families with young children. This initiative improves physical facilities and educates tourism workers to foster an inclusive environment, benefiting about 31% of the population. Recognized internationally, these efforts include the unique 'Open Travel Week' campaign to spread awareness. Future goals aim to enhance travel connectivity with seamless barriers-free access, involving both public and private sectors. The government's strategy also involves certifying accessible facilities and incentivizing private sector involvement.
