Accessible Destinations Web Portal Makes Researching Your Next Trip Easier
February 1, 2022
Ian RuderPlanning your next accessible vacation just got a little easier, thanks to TravelAbility’s Accessible Destinations portal.
As demand for accessible travel steadily grows, more locations offer guides and information specifically for people with disabilities. The Accessible Destinations portal offers a curated and centralized collection of accessibility guides for over 120 destinations in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, supplemented by articles and listings from disability travel bloggers and other reliable sources.
The portal is the culmination of 18 months of research and outreach by the TravelAbility team. They checked out 245 destinations and found that only around 50% had official web pages focused on accessibility. By visiting the portal, you can see which locations try to be accessible and research everything from top attractions to hotel options.
TravelAbility founder Jake Steinman says the portal is part of the organization’s ongoing efforts to improve access across the travel industry while educating destinations and industry leaders about the needs of people with disabilities. “While the ADA provides some baseline for physical accessibility, albeit woefully inadequate, there’s no ADA for information,” he says. “For travel at least, we felt this was information that destinations could provide, and we could organize it all on one website to make it easy to find.”
Steinman urges disabled travelers to check back regularly as his team is continually growing the portal. Roll into the portal and see for yourself at travelability.net/accessible-destinations.
