Abstract

People with disabilities have a history of forgetfulness and barriers that impede access to their social rights, including leisure. This condition of society is reflected in the virtual environment, where information about accessibility in tourist attractions is disregarded. With this in mind, the present work aims to analyze the tourist attractions of the city of Rio de Janeiro, from the perspective of information about accessibility contained on their websites. Regarding the methodology, the research is characterized as exploratory and descriptive, with a qualitative approach, with data collection carried out through bibliographical and documentary research and on specific electronic sites. As a result, it was observed that Rio de Janeiro's tourist attractions, although they have an important influence on the composition of the city's tourist offer at an international level, do not receive due attention when it comes to making information available to the PWD public. The best indicators of information about accessibility on the websites were: special price, referring to discounts on admission to the attraction, and virtual accessibility, related to the assistive resources available to adapt the structure of the website in order to understand its content. On the other hand, accessible bathroom indicators, information in Braille and accessibility certificates were not mentioned on any of the websites analyzed. Therefore, the results obtained are fundamental to better understand the universe of the topic and encourage new reflections on tourism and accessibility in favor of a fairer society.
