Technology Results Diversity Research problem 1. Cultural tourism is considered as a niche market and little attention has been paid for cultural tourism throughout the world, compared to mass tourism (LORD, 1999; Silberberg; UNESCO, 2003). 2. Most of the tourism industry focuses upon only 15 per cent of tourists who are already motivated by cultural tourism (Lord, 1999; Silberberg, 1995). Research Objectives 1. To identify what are the barriers and drivers of cultural tourists for five groups. 2. To compare the similarities and differences in the cultural tourism barriers and drivers across five different groups. This study is a quantitative research that seeks out what are drivers and barriers for five groups in Bangkok, Thailand. A total of 500 questionnaires were distributed to five groups in these location; underground train stations, parks, cultural and historical places from 1 – 30 June 2015. Respondents will be asked to indicate on seven – point Likert scale (1 = not impor- tant at all and 7 = extremely important). The output from SPSS was analysed using ANOVA to compare similarities and dif- ferences between five groups.

RQ2: Are there any similarities and differences in the barriers and drivers of cultural tourism among five different groups? Barriers: 14 out of 25 barriers were significantly different (p<.05) between five groups. However, 11 out of 25 were not significantly different.

Research problem

1. Cultural tourism is considered as a niche market and little attention has been paid for cultural tourism throughout the world, compared to mass tourism (LORD, 1999; Silberberg; UNESCO, 2003).

2. Most of the tourism industry focuses upon only 15 per cent of tourists who are already motivated by cultural tourism (Lord, 1999; Silberberg, 1995).

Research Objectives

1. To identify what are the barriers and drivers of cultural tourists for five groups.

2. To compare the similarities and differences in the cultural tourism barriers and drivers across five different groups.

This study is a quantitative research that seeks out what are drivers and barriers for five groups in Bangkok, Thailand.

A total of 500 questionnaires were distributed to five groups in these location; underground train stations, parks, cultural and historical places from 1 – 30 June 2015.

Respondents will be asked to indicate on seven – point Likert scale (1 = not impor-tant at all and 7 = extremely important).

The output from SPSS was analysed using ANOVA to compare similarities and dif-ferences between five groups.

Methodolody

RQ1: What are the barriers and drivers in cultural tourism for five different groups?

RQ2: Are there any similarities and differences in the barriers and drivers of cultural tourism among five different groups?

Barriers: 14 out of 25 barriers were significantly different (p<.05) between five groups. However, 11 out of 25 were not significantly different. Drivers: 16 out of 26 drivers were significantly different (p<.05) between five groups. However, 10 out of 25 were not significantly different.

Inclusive Design in Cultural Tourism: Identification of Barriers and Drivers for Five Groups in Thailand

Implications of the study

Marketing perspectiveThe tourism industry and marketers can present different advertising campaigns to reflect the different barriers and drivers by five groups.

Management perspective

The findings could also assist gov-ernment decision to improve trans-portation to historical places. Moreover, tourism industry should establish appropriate programs for their customers better to reflect their interests.

Inclusive Designperspective

Inclusive design principles are adopted in this study as ‘understand-ing and designing for diversity’. These results can be used as under-standing of barriers and drivers in cultural tourism. Next, the results will be adopted into the next stage of my PhD research.
