For example, the percentage of Australian tourists with disabilities has been estimated at about 11% of the total number
of tourists10. The United Kingdom found in its 2009 tourism survey that 12% of all persons who engaged in domestic tourism (at least one overnight away from home) had a disability or long-term health problems.
These tourists also stayed longer and spent more than the average. Similarly, studies in the United States have shown that American adults with disabilities or reduced mobility spend an average of $ 13.6 billion annually on travel.
