Although Europe’s borders remain closed to much of the world, Germany is prepared to capitalize on the post-pandemic accessible travel boom.
Writers Barbara and Jim Twardowski, in an article for the Abilities Buzz, stated that the country “is diligently working to make Germany a place where everyone can travel with ease and without barriers.”
The country has invested in a program to assess the accessibility of businesses, collecting the data in a centralized accessible tourism database. Local and regional tourism boards have also made investments in accessibility and tourism guides for disabled visitors, including Berlin, Frankfurt and Munich, among others.
OUR TAKE: As the disability community is vaccinated and begins to plan their vacations for 2021 and 2022, destinations that have done the work to welcome them are likely to see an increase in travelers with accessibility needs. Germany’s long history of investment in accessible travel will aid in their recovery.
