Breixo Martins Rodal (University of Vigo, Spain), María Isabel Doval Ruiz (University of Vigo, Spain), and Ángel Rodríguez-Pallas (University of A Coruña, Spain)
DOI: 10.4018/979-8-3693-3390-7.ch010
Abstract
This research analyses the structure of university training offerings for individuals with intellectual disabilities within the Spanish university system. The Spanish territory will be used as a case study due to its tourism strength, as well as the historical ramification of the sector in higher education. Multiple studies on inclusion and tourism have been conducted so far but without a detailed analysis of university training offerings for groups with disabilities. Additionally, a novel research variant is introduced, focusing on the analysis of intellectual disabilities, a group that was marginalized in universities until a few years ago, and within this, the EDI (equity, disability, inclusion) perspective. A compilation and analysis of university offerings oriented towards the tourism sector for this group, the involvement of the private sector and the role of inclusion institutions will be carried out. The research will utilize quantitative and qualitative techniques, including semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders.
