Accessible tourism in mountain areas of Poland is developing from the bottom up. People with disabilities, their families and volunteers are organizing themselves into groups of support. Their aim is to break physical barriers and show that disability is not a problem for anyone to become a tourist in mountain areas and make dreams of climbing highest peaks come true (including Mt. Rysy 2499 m). In the meantime first mountain hiking trails in Poland are becoming adapted to the needs of people with visual impairment or people using wheelchairs. People with disabilities constitute 14,3% of the Polish population. There is still much to be done to include this group of society in planning the development of tourism on national and regional levels. In my PhD dissertation I want to identify opportunities to increase the accessibility of mountain areas in Poland for the tourism needs of people with disabilities.
