Creating dementia-friendly destinations in Scotland.
Managing events, festivals and the visitor economy: concepts, collaborations and cases(2021)
Abstract
Abstract
This chapter seeks to explore the levels of dementia friendliness of destinations in Scotland, UK. Accessible tourism is an increasingly important sector of the tourism industry. The ageing population represents an underdeveloped market for destinations. Globally 46 million people live with dementia, a number expected to triple by 2050. Travel is still possible in the early stages of dementia and has been recognised for its improvements to quality of life and benefits to physical, psychological, and social wellbeing. By being accessible to hidden disabilities, such as dementia, destinations might gain a competitive advantage.
