Abstract
Tourism activity in recent years has undergone countless transformations, these being of a social, cultural and economic nature,
making more and more people able to practice tourism. This factor contributed for the tourist trade to expand, causing several
segments to appear within the same sector to meet the varied demands of society. This society is also composed of people with
disabilities, whether physical, intellectual or sensory, as defined by social and legal parameters. In this north, the tourist activity
started to understand these people as individuals deserving to practice and enjoy the services, products, places, spaces and
conditions that correspond to the sector. To this end, discussions on accessibility and social inclusion within tourism have become
constant guidelines when thinking about offering a quality service that can meet and be accessible to everyone. In this way, the
present work aims to carry out a systematic review, literature review on works already published that contemplate the same theme
that they bring from a historical show of the accessibility and inclusion of people with disabilities within tourism, up to what has
already been aiming to make them feel inserted in this environment, as well as to understand what actually happens in practice
when investigating the real practices, adaptations and conditions carried out to assist these people with a disability. Whereby means
of a systematization of the chosen works and the theoretical-conceptual framework [1-4]. It is possible to arrive at results that show
the reality of the difficulties, barriers that limit the fact that the tourist activity occurs in a way accessible to all who want to enjoy it.
