The results of a social survey are demonstrating a good level of respondent’s awareness concerning this problem and their will to participate in a discussion and taking of measures for the integration of a barrier-free environment with the intention to raise the invalid’s level of life.

The number of people with disabilities (PWDs) is expected to increase over years due to the increase of human lifespan and accidents. However, the PWDs as a result of some social factors, such as environment inaccessibility, insufficient job opportunity, inadequate education aids, etc. are excluded from participating their leisure activities or dining out in the society. This study aims to investigate and evaluate the design of barrier-free environment of restaurants in Taiwan famous tourism areas via the restaurant customer satisfaction of PWDs regarding the barrier-free facility and service quality. The results show that the qualified percentage of barrier-free physical environment design is only 44%, and PWDs are not satisfied with the barrier-free physical environment including the space allotted in parking lots, restroom accessibility for PWDs, as well as the slipperiness of floors. The regression analysis shows the barrier-free physical environment and service quality aspect with respect to post-purchase intentions reach statistical significance indicating the environment design for the PWDs is critical to the restaurant management especially in a tourism area.

The article actualizes the necessity for the inclusive tourism development and establishes its importance for people with disabilities. It is revealed that the implementation of the state policy in the field of inclusive tourism and development planning of this sector at national and regional levels must meet two principles. The fist principle is "universal design", which provides the creation of a barrier-free environment for the unimpeded access to facilities and services to all citizens regardless of their existing disability. The second one is "reasonable accommodation" through creating adaptive social environment from the point of view of the necessity and possibility commensuration by means of adapting the environment to the needs of people with disabilities, on the basis of which the principal guidelines and key priorities in the sphere of state regulation of this type of tourism are formulated. The analysis of the content of the state program "Accessible Environment" and the scope of the methodology is carried out. The latter allows to objectify and systematize the accessibility of facilities and services in priority areas of life of people with disabilities, the most significant of which are: the organization of monitoring the accessibility of facilities and services for people with disabilities; the development of services and organizations that provide these services considering the needs of the disabled and other people with limited mobility; the development of plans and programs for adaptation through the development of social infrastructure; preparation and dissemination of information and reference materials. This allowed us to indicate the main directions of the regional policy covering economic, social, environmental and technological aspects. Each aspect includes a corresponding set of methods and tools of state support in the development of inclusive tourism.
