The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on defining the basic concepts of tourism taking into account the specific needs of people with visual impairments. Furthermore, it includes the definition of the given group of people. Important points of this thesis are the specific requirements and needs of the visually impaired and the legislative measures that regulate the accessibility of buildings for visually impaired individuals. The practical part includes an analysis of in-depth interviews with blind and partially sighted people and a questionnaire survey among catering and accommodation establishments. The aim of this work was to find out whether accommodation and catering establishments in the Czech Republic are sufficiently equipped to provide services to people with visual impairments and whether this means that the establishments are losing potential customers and, therefore, not using the full potential of the market.
