Abstract

Tourism can provide transformational experiences, in positive and/or negative ways, for any tourist. It can provide new experiences that can be (deeply) affective as tourists encounter new places, people, cultures, and activities that they may have never encountered before. For tourists with disability, transformational experiences can be even more significant, again in positive and/or negative ways.
