Hello.
This is Nuri Park from Paece Winds Korea.
I'd like to share the fifth interview with Deafnuri!
The theme for this week's interview is "Barrier-free services" !
Q: Could you please provide a brief explanation of your barrier-free services?
A: First of all, I think it is a problem to distinguish between barrier-free travel and general travel. Barrier-free travel may be perceived as travel exclusively for individuals with disabilities. True barrier-free travel is more akin to "tourism for all," where both non-disabled and disabled individuals can participate together. This makes "tourism for all" more valuable than travel solely for people with disabilities. It is tourism that everyone, including children, seniors, pregnant women, people with disabilities, and immigrants can enjoy together.
With this concept in mind, I realized there was a need for educational travel products that teach individuals how to respect diversity. As a result, I developed a barrier-free educational travel service.
For deaf individuals, having deaf guides is critical. Without professional deaf guides, deaf individuals can easily miss important information. However, no current company provides travel services for the deaf with deaf guides. Therefore, Deafnuri aims to solve this issue by providing deaf guide services. My hope is that this business will have a large customer base, ultimately increasing awareness of disabilities and encouraging the production of barrier-free content in a "positive circle." This, in turn, will contribute to building an inclusive society where everyone can be together.
Currently, we are preparing to develop a customized guide curriculum for deaf individuals. Additionally, we are planning an eco-friendly Jeju Olle Trail tour program in June. We are also discussing other barrier-free services and businesses, and we will provide updates as soon as decisions are made. Please look forward to the news!
Thank you for reading!
Best regards,
Nuri Park.
