Abstract:
Abstract The article covers the geographical features of the organisation of medical tourism for a group of the world's population suffering from a brain disease – dementia. The main attention is paid to the development of this type of tourism in Russia in comparison with some other countries. The question is raised about the involvement of these people in tourism activities, which could help to improve their health status and improve the living environment of societies. The main problems faced by tourists with the disease dementia are considered. The authors advocate that freedom of movement is the inalienable right of every person. Therefore, the creation of conditions for comfortable travel of people even with mental defects becomes a necessary measure to ensure the sustainable development of accessible tourism infrastructure. The recommendations are given, the implementation of which will allow organising an efficiently working tourist and recreational system that satisfies the needs of these peculiar recreational tourists, as well as the interests of all society representatives.

Abstract:
Purpose This paper aims to examine the development of research on ageing and demography and the implications for the study of tourism. It examines the demographic time bomb created by an ageing population and the implications of complex health conditions, such as dementia, for the visitor economy. Practical measures are identified with an example of a “call to action” for small to medium-sized tourism businesses. Design/methodology/approach This review is based on existing knowledge of ageing and draws upon a historical timeline that stretches from the nineteenth century to 2100. Findings The impact of complex health conditions such as dementia will pose major challenges for the visitor economy and will require behavioural change within existing business practices to accommodate the needs of people with dementia and their carers. Research limitations/implications Major changes in business practices and the development of more holistic views of accessibility will be needed to accommodate an ageing population in 2100. Some of the initial changes businesses can make are outlined in a “call to action” leaflet extract. Practical implications Businesses will need to focus more on customer care practices to ensure that they can accommodate the complex needs of people with dementia and their carers as they continue to pursue the tourism and leisure activities that they have grown accustomed to. Social implications Businesses will need to become more fully engaged with new agendas on accessibility, inclusivity and good business practice that raise significant ethical, financial and legal issues for the way they do business in the future. Originality/value The paper sets out an overarching grand societal challenge around ageing that is now confronting many countries worldwide. As part of that agenda, this paper raises the issue of hidden conditions such as dementia. The paper seeks to stimulate a wider debate for researchers and policymakers going forward, framed around the following questions which arise from the paper: How is dementia understood as a hidden condition in the visitor economy? To what extent is there awareness and action in the visitor economy sector? What can the visitor economy sector do to address issues of inclusivity and dementia?

Abstract:
Purpose Preserving our built heritage from the onslaught of weather, pollution, development and the effects of tourism is a complex endeavour. Appended to this is the need to ensure that heritage buildings are inclusive to all users. Thus, built heritage is plagued with contradictions and conflict between conservation goals and those to support inclusivity given the limited resources often available. Dementia has been purposely selected for this study as numbers of diagnosed sufferers are increasing at an alarming rate, and enagement with heritage has been proven to support well-being. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach This research review draws on systematic principles and presents an analysis of the available literature on well-being programmes designed for people living with dementia and their care supporters, with particular reference to programmes in heritage settings, and the resulting impact for users. Findings This review critically evaluates the available evidence from published literature on the role of the heritage setting, on how it impacts on the experience of dementia participants. In doing so, it draws on findings from the experiences and well-being of people living with dementia and their care supporters; assesses the current state of knowledge, identifies support implications and makes recommendations for future research. In doing so, it highlights a dearth in the literature on research related to the physical environment setting, particular addressing any cognitive impairments that may arise that can alter psychosocial processes, such as lighting, temperature, acoustics and materiality, so that they can be understood and suitably adapted to support the well-being of those living with dementia. Originality/value The scant lack of financial resources to support inclusivity in built heritage, and the argument that some heritage cannot be adapted, often leads to only limited opportune for people with dementia. Thus, there is an inherent need for an understanding of current research and well-being programmes so that it can be focalled in the future to support built heritage tourism in a way that it is inclusive to all.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter seeks to explore the levels of dementia friendliness of destinations in Scotland, UK. Accessible tourism is an increasingly important sector of the tourism industry. The ageing population represents an underdeveloped market for destinations. Globally 46 million people live with dementia, a number expected to triple by 2050. Travel is still possible in the early stages of dementia and has been recognised for its improvements to quality of life and benefits to physical, psychological, and social wellbeing. By being accessible to hidden disabilities, such as dementia, destinations might gain a competitive advantage.

Abstract:
This chapter introduces the concept of the visitor economy as an underpinning feature of many neighbourhoods that receive, host and contain both leisure and tourism activity. Using the example of dementia, the chapter illustrates how leisure and tourism activity is integral to most neighbourhoods from both a resident and visitor perspective and how the businesses located within the visitor economy can develop more dementia-friendly approaches to leisure and tourism provision. The wider benefits of creating more accessible dementia-friendly businesses propositions will result in wider civil society obligations and ambitions at neighbourhood and broader societal levels. Since dementia-friendly debates are inherently spatial and place-specific, the neighbourhood is an ideal microgeographical scale to understand progress towards becoming dementia-friendly, with specific businesses adapting their propositions to enrich the lived experiences of people with dementia in a neighbourhood setting more inclusively.

Abstract:
This chapter tackles the report findings of Neighbourhoods: Our People, Our Places (N: OPOP) based on the experiences of people living alone with dementia from Greater Manchester, Scotland and Sweden. It also examines a subset of data from the N: OPOP project of people living alone with dementia establishing social networks and relationships in a neighbourhood context. Multiple data-collection methods were used such as semi-structured interviews, walking interviews, guided home tours and social network mapping, which were conducted with fourteen community-dwelling people living alone with dementia situated across the three international study sites. Thematic analysis revealed four main themes: making the effort to stay connected, befriending by organisations and facilitated friendships, the quiet neighbourhood atmosphere, and changing social connections. Moreover, the analysis suggests that people living alone with dementia were active agents that took control of finding and maintaining relationships and social networks in a lived neighbourhood. The findings indicate the need to raise awareness on policy, practice and creative ways to connect.

Abstract:
According to estimates by the Japanese Cabinet Office, there will be approximately 6.02 million elderly people with dementia in 2020, and the prevalence of dementia among those age 65 years and above will be very high at 16.7%. Therefore, it is important to prevent dementia in local communities. However, even though exercises for physical strength maintenance are conducted in many local communities, there are very few exercises to prevent declines in cognitive function. Thus, the “Brain Wakawaka Club” makes tours to local communities with the students of the Department of Occupational Therapy, and conducts cognitive function evaluation and maintenance exercises for elderly people. This activity is expected to contribute to the prevention of dementia among the elderly in the community.
