Abstract

Accessible tourism is where the tourist destinations and facilities provided by the host country or place are barrier-free to all users especially persons with disabilities (PWDs). Kuala Lumpur (KL) being a developing city is still working on providing seamless mobility and improvement on the accessibility to the PWDs when they travel especially after being declared to be barrier-free city in 2010. This study aims to investigate the provision and the quality of facilities accessible by the PWDs in the selected tourist attraction buildings in the city of KL.
