ABSTRACT

This study was conducted from the perspective of expanding the discussion to an autonomous perspective that disabled people can decide their own tourism behavior, and that there is an inherent psychological mechanism that the disabled also want tourism behavior of their own, just like non-disabled people. In 2019, a survey was conducted using people with disabilities who visited welfare centers for the disabled. Using convenient sampling method, a total of 288 surveys were included in the analysis. Based on the self-determination perspectives, the results show that amotivation and intrinsic motivation of people with a disability affected attitudes and subjective norms, respectively. In particular, intrinsic motivation had a significant effect only on perceived behavioral control. In addition, it was found that attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control had significant effects on tourism intention. It was found that the process of tourism activities for people with disabilities goes through a path similar to that of non-disabled people. Therefore, in order to revitalize tourism behavior of people with disabilities, various methods are needed to internalize the positive meaning of the tourism behavior by themselves. Among them, it is possible to engage in tourism by providing a foundation for easy access to people with disabilities.
