Abstract
El turismo accesible es un fenómeno que se ha popularizado en los últimos años por el hecho del creciente nicho de mercado que implican las personas con discapacidad, al permitir su participación en la actividad turística mediante la adaptación de cada espacio según sus necesidades, consiguiendo que tengan momentos de recreación y ocio sin sobreesfuerzos. No obstante, existen lugares como la cuidad de Ibarra, que no prestan las condiciones adecuadas para la práctica del turismo accesible; la desinformación y falta de investigaciones respecto a infraestructura y prestaciones complementarias requeridas, conlleva a un bajo porcentaje de visitantes con discapacidad; por lo cual, la presente investigación tiene el objetivo el analizar la gestión accesible en los museos de la ciudad de Ibarra respecto a las necesidades de las personas con discapacidad física, visual y auditiva; la metodología utilizada inicia con una investigación aplicada con enfoque mixto debido a que, se analizaron datos cuantitativos y cualitativos, obtenidos a través de técnicas como encuesta y observación. Posteriormente, se realizó una evaluación de los museos de la ciudad de Ibarra, para poder definir qué tipo de accesibilidad presentan los mismos; como resultados obtenidos se puede observar que el museo Nicolás Herrera posee un nivel de accesibilidad convertible, mientras que el museo y centro cultural del Ministerio de Cultura del Ecuador posee un grado de accesibilidad practicable, llegando a la conclusión de que ambos requieren de la adecuación y transformación de sus espacios para ser catalogados como accesibles.
