Fastest growing travel sector
Many reports can be found online discussing the outcome and predictions for the future on accessible travel as the fastest growing travel market.
Reality versus ideal travel and tourism: the majority of airlines, hotels, restaurants, theme parks and museums, historic sites and tourist attractions are not accessible for everyone. The need and necessity for that is bigger than life, every day routine reality shows its results are slower than the slowest turtle speed ever measured.
What do we need?
Very helpful and actually, necessary is accurate, up-to-date and checked and verified accessibility information on every single location, accommodation, airport, zoo and basically everything else people love to visit. This will never become a reality, so the best we can do is collect as much as possible detailed information.
Many resources are providing this. Review websites, Youtube channels, accessible travel bloggers and vloggers, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter (X) pages and many more. It is a huge thousand island adventure, in many languages, countries, some international, large or small with one thing in common: they are not connected. We have been collecting checked and verified accessibility information since 2011 and want to keep doing that on a larger scale.
Laws and regulations, websites and social media
JOBS: An important part of better and more accessibility information is a responsibility of business owners in the travel industry. Tour companies, hotels and airlines and other big players. Let’s help these busy businesses and make them stand out from the crowd.
