Abstract: The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities establishes two fundamental rights: the right to work and the right to enjoy a tourist experience. Work employment is considered by the European Commission the fundamental way to social inclusion. Nevertheless, several studies highlight the difficulties of entering the labor market. The UNWTO (2020) has pointed out the priority role of accessibility in the tourist sector and the importance of providing accessible tourist services to all potential travelers is widely under- lined in literature. This chapter analyses a form of entrepreneurship of people with disabilities, recently established in Italy, that favors their employment in the non-hotel accommodation sector and jointly promotes accessible tour- ism. By using a representative case study, the research identifies the distinc- tive features of this initiative; in addition to its aptitude to promote social in- clusion, it highlights the intrinsic accessibility of the tourist offer, the strengths of the business model and the critical issues to manage for its possible diffu- sion in other territorial contexts.
