Intellectual disability and care during travel
通过现象学访谈，揭示照护者与成年智力障碍者在旅行中的照护体验，发现照护涉及给予、调谐和表演等情感交织，挑战了旅行是独立活动的普遍观念，为无障碍旅游研究提供新方向。
This phenomenological study unveils the lived experiences of care during travel of carers and the adults with intellectual disabilities they care for. In-depth interviews unveiled the unique nuances and complexities of giving care to those who are otherwise unable to travel independently. Their care experiences were characterised by emotional entanglements of ‘giving’, ‘attunement’, and ‘performance’, which span personal, relational, and social caring spheres. The findings shine a light on intellectual disability as a complex and marginalised identity, and one that disrupts the generalised notion of travel as an independent activity. Our conclusions validate care as both a practice and an ethic that is amplified, negotiated, and mediated within a tourism context, and offer new directions for accessible tourism research.
