[AI] Access tourism
All The following message failed to get on the list. Copying below. Harish Kotian Quoting: Access Tourism NZ TOURISM FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES, SENIORS, AND AGEING BOOMERS IN NEW ZEALAND AND WORLDWIDE Tourism and travel industry missing out on a big market ITB World Travel Monitor forum told Posted by Sandra Rhodda in Accessible Tourism, Ageing & Disabilities, Baby Boomers, Current markets, Destinations and operators, Future markets, Inclusive Tourism, International AT research, International Bodies, Law, policy, development, World Access Tourism. Comments Off Lilian Müller, president of the European Network for Accessible Tourism (ENAT), told the 20th World Travel Monitor Forum in Pisa Italy that while millions of people around the world want to travel and have the time and money to do so, they are forced to stay at home because of insufficient facilities. However, with improved accessibility, the €100 billion travel and tourism market for people with disabilities or physical restrictions could develop strongly. She added that given world population aging, this neglected market will inevitably grow in importance in coming years. According to research in Europe alone, there are 80 million people with disabilities. When travel companions are included, the potential size of the “accessible tourism” market is estimated at 133 million people, the Swedish expert said. In the UK, disabled visitors (about 11% of all visitors) contributed almost £2 billion to the British domestic visitor economy in 2009, while in Australia, about 11% of visitors are disabled and contributing up to 16% of tourism GDP and sustaining up to 17% of jobs in the tourism sector. In Germany, the direct turnover generated by disabled travellers is estimated at €2.5 billion, and rises to €4.8 billion when including indirect effects. However, in that country, 37% of disabled people decided not to travel in the past due to a lack of accessible facilities, 48% would travel more frequently if these were available and 60% would be ready to pay higher travel costs for improved accessibility. Worldwide, 10% of the population needs “barrier free” or “accessible” travel. “People with disabilities or reduced mobility want to travel just like everyone else. They don’t want to stay at home,” Müller said. The travel and tourism industry should therefore recognise them as an important customer group both now and in future. “It’s a good idea to invest in tomorrow’s consumers,” she commented. Disabled people are also significant because they tend to be loyal to a destination, staying longer and spending more if their needs are met. In addition, the sector is facing new legal obligations in terms of access, Müller pointed out. More than 140 countries have signed the UN Declaration on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, while the European Commission is planning an EU Accessibility Act that would oblige member states to ensure equal access to goods and services, including travel and tourism, for all citizens. The ENAT president stressed that accessible tourism has to cover all parts of the value chain, from better information and booking, transportation, through to facilities at the destination, including accommodation, catering and activities, as well as tourism services. This is not a niche market any longer; accessibility must be part of all offers and tourism products but there will also be a continuing need in the market for specialised suppliers who can provide services for customers with higher level access requirements, she emphasised. One important area in future will be to make travel and tourism information more accessible on the internet, for example for blind and deaf people. But tourist board websites generally fail on this front, according to an ENAT survey. Only 10 out of 39 NTO websites complied with web accessibility criteria in a 2011. More than half failed to provide accessibility information.

Re: [AI] AP youth becomes India's first blind CA
Well, I am not very sure if he is India's first blind CA. I know at least 4 or 5 other blind persons in the country who are practicing/working CAs. Typical of Indian journalists to make such claims. Having said this, my heart felt congrats to the young man. Great achievement indeed. Regards, George -Original Message- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Prashant Ranjan Verma Sent: 24 January 2013 09:28 To: accessindia@accessindia. org. in Subject: [AI] AP youth becomes India's first blind CA Source: http://newindianexpress.com/states/andhra_pradesh/article1431906.ece By Payal Ganguly - HYDERABAD 23rd January 2013 08:10 AM J Rajasekhar Reddy, a visually-impaired man from Guntur, shows the victory sign after becoming India's first blind CA in Hyderabad on Tuesday. Devnar Foundation correspondent Jyothi Goud is beside him. | A Radhakrishna The vision to achieve his childhood goal helped 23-year-old J. Rajashekar Reddy qualify the final hurdle of becoming a chartered accountant. He is the first completely blind candidate in India to manage the feat. "My success is not mine alone but of all those volunteers, teachers, friends and mentors who supported me throughout," said the boy from Guntur, who cleared the examination in his second attempt on Jan 21. After he lost his vision owing to a damaged optic nerve caused by brain tumor at the age of 11, Rajashekar never imagined that he would be able to script a sterling success. "I went into depression and my parents had given up on me. I had never paid much attention to studies, but I am grateful to my grandmother who brought me to Hyderabad, after she heard of the Devnar School for Blind," said Rajashekar, who found his feet after joining the school. A meeting with a career counselor at the school when he was in 10th standard set the pace for his career. "The profession of CA is an honoured post in the society and hence I was motivated to pursue it. My father works as an electrician and mother is a homemaker. It is a little difficult for them to comprehend the sense of my achievement. In fact, looking at the jitters I was going through before my results were declared, my mother was worried that I chose a profession which causes stress and wanted me to relax at home," he added. Preparing for the examination is doubly difficult for a visually impaired student due to lack of study material. But Rajashekar's teachers and many volunteers helped him record the books into an audio format through scanners. "I would record the classes at my coaching institute and hear lectures after returning home. Also, the questions for the practical paper are lengthy, and going over them again and again is tedious as my peers with normal vision could always go back to a certain part of the question or pick up a book and start reading right-away. For practical preparation, my teachers and volunteers had been helpful," said the B.Com graduate from Osmania University.

Re: [AI] AP youth becomes India's first blind CA
Good that he has cleared CA. However, he is not definitely the first. There are a handful of blind persons at least who have cleared CA in their first attempt. Mr. B. Jairam, my esteemed colleague in RBI had done it in first attempt about four years back. Why is it a fashion among the blind to claim a first for all their achievements, I don't know.

Re: [AI] When you sometimes feel isolated in the company of your sighted friends
Hi Mohit, I always find it easy to answer your questions because they are related to minor adjustments in the mind set and not major technical ones. But the thing I like the most in you is your openness in asking these questions. When your friends are sharing food, just ask them openly what it is and tell them if you want it. When I have stuff like roti with curries and have a doubt if the curry is sufficient or not for all, I openly ask them how much is left and should I go about it in large quantities or adjust with whatever is left. And if my friends help me in taking food onto my spoon, I will be extremely happy. In cases like the last few pieces of Gobi fry in the plate, pani puri, etc., I ask them for the same help. In case of discussions like photos or scenic beauties, just find a string that you can use to get into the discussion. The nature of a person, place you have been to, etc. are a few examples that allow you to get into the discussion. The advantage I have is that I am very jovial and my associates(family, friends, colleagues) want me to speak on every subject and they narrate incidents in which I am not present so that I can pull out a joke. As I said, this is my nature and not something deliberate. best.

[AI] Regarding making all Government websites accessible to citizens/persons with disabilities.
Forwarded message -- Case.No.9/1104/12-13 Dated: 22nd January, 2013 To The Cabinet Secretary, Cabinet Secretariat, Govt. of India, Rashtrapati Bhawan, New Delhi - 110 004 Subject: Regarding making all Government websites accessible to citizens/persons with disabilities. Reference: News item published in The Hindustan Times dated 22nd January, 2013. Sir, In inviting your attention to the subject and reference captioned above, I am directed to state as under:- 1. That the Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities, Department of Disability Affairs, Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment, Govt. of India has taken suo-moto cognizance of the inaccessible status of most of the Government websites on the basis of a news item published in the Hindustan Times dated 22nd January, 2013 (copy enclosed for ready reference). 2. That it appears that most of the Government websites are inaccessible to citizens/persons with disabilities with the result that citizens/persons with disabilities are unable to access useful information which is available to others. 3. That the office of the Hon'ble Prime Minister of India, appreciating the need and urgency of making all Government websites accessible to all citizens/persons with disabilities is understood to have passed an order about three years back recommending that all Government websites be made accessible to the disabled. 4. The National Informatics Centre (NIC), Govt. of India had also issued guidelines that all Government websites should conform to the international accessibility standards, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0. 5. That it appears that despite the order by the PMO, and despite the guidelines issued by NIC, most of the Ministries/Departments have done virtually nothing to make all Government websites accessible to the citizens/persons with disabilities. In the above view of the matter, the Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities has advised as follows:- (a)That the Cabinet Secretary may be pleased to issue directives to all the Ministries/Departments to make all Government websites accessible to citizens/persons with disabilities within a defined time frame. (b) That action taken in the matter may be intimated to this Court/office within 30 days from the date of this communication. Yours faithfully, ( S.S. Sinha ) Dy. Chief Commissioner Copy to: 1.
