Report on the subject of adapting premises to meet the requirements of the new legislation.
In order for the hotel to meet the new legislation requirements whom are stated in “the disability discrimination act” from 1995, it will need to make some changes. This act places responsibility on tourism providers to create specific operations and facilities which can be used by disabled people. In broad terms “Any tourism provider is not to discriminate against anyone with a disability” Since October 1999 service providers are required to make reasonable steps in order to make services available to people who are disabled. This means the hotel should make sure that the restaurant is reachable without any constraints for people in a wheel chair. This includes removing steps (unless it were to be a single step). The bar also needs to be made accessible for people who cannot walk or have problems with walking. A other change the hotel might want to put through is the lowering of a part of the bar where people in a wheel chair can sit and be served without the hindrance of the height of the bar itself. Some of the rooms should be amended to meet the needs of disabled people, such as bars in the toilet and a lowered entrance for the shower (probably the three rooms downstairs, as there is no lift installed). Although staff helps to carry luggage upstairs for people who have problems doing so themselves, it might proof a very useful upgrade to install an elevator. This will not only help disabled guests but also staff transporting items, i.e. new furniture for the rooms.
