The concept of accessible tourism has emerged as a pivotal domain for the promotion of inclusivity within the tourism sector, particularly with respect to individuals living with disabilities and those exhibiting diverse requirements. Nevertheless, the digital management of accessible tourism, encompassing booking platforms and planning tools, is influenced by a multitude of intrinsic and extrinsic factors. The latter comprise socio-cultural, economic, and tourism-related factors that have the capacity to engender substantial variations between regions. While certain nations are endeavouring to incorporate accessible technologies into their tourism systems, others encounter structural impediments that impede their progress. This paper explores the manner in which socio-cultural and economic contexts, including norms, attitudes and education, as well as investment, public policies and technological development, have the potential to condition the implementation of accessible tourism solutions. The study employs a global comparative approach, utilising an analysis of official tourism websites as a primary research method. The results unequivocally demonstrate substantial regional differences and identify three primary geographical groupings, each exhibiting a distinct level of development in terms of accessibility and tourism.
