The event is highly regarded for raising the awareness of the general public on disability issues. However, there were some issues that need to be addressed, especially in competitionvenues, athletes’ village, and transport facilities that were not entirely accessible. Similar issues were found during the 15th National Paralympics Week in Bandung, where several facilities in the Bandung Stadium were problematic, e.g. ramps that are too steep, therefore athletes and visitors required assistance in order to participate and watch the games comfortably and safely. 60.

This requirement, however, is not met and the number of tourism sites that are not accessible for people with disabilities is overwhelming. It is difficult for visitors with disabilities to enjoy Indonesia’s tourism destinations. List of issues 28
