Abstract
People have been paying much attention to ideal visions for promoting barrier tourism in the current situation in which it is pointed out that more and more welfare states are facing the danger of system collapse. With a focus on revitalizing regional economies on the basis of the promotion of regional tourism in recent years, this study seeks to examine barrier-free tourism centered on community based tourism. The paper also presents a new direction for the future of tourism by examining the European concept of social inclusion and the practice of social firms. In the analysis, the study considers both market mechanisms and societal and economic perspectives. The formation of social capital and other related materials and the accumulation of regional endogenous potential based on the logic of regional relativity are essential to reinvigorating local communities and economies as well as boosting barrier-free tourism.
