Ahead of the Curve: 5 DMOs with Landing Pages for Disabled Travelers

One of the key priorities for TravelAbility Summit is to promote the adoption of accessible landing pages, where destinations can communicate with disabled travelers and provide information to help them explore the local area. Landing pages are the best and most cost-effective way to provide accessible travel information. Resources included on these web pages can be used not only by visitors, but also by members of the local community who may have a disability or who have a family member or friend with a disability.

Here are 5 DMOs that have started this journey, and what we like most about their accessible landing pages.

Destination BC

What we like about this site: This is an industry CMS site where over 5,000 tourism businesses have an opportunity to input information about their products and services, making it possible for the Province to promote them to numerous audiences. So far, 400 businesses have entered their accessible information and the province is committed to accessibility for all as one of their values.

What we like about this site: They began by adhering to the “Nothing about us without us” mantra by bringing together local disability organizations for input and feedback. The site not only features visual presentation of accessible attractions but links to additional information and tips. It also includes resources like transportation options, special needs travel agents, etc.
