Expanding access to accessible travel information and resources is one of the TravelAbility Summit’s key objectives, and many destinations are already providing excellent content through their websites’ accessible travel landing pages.
I Love NY’s Accessible New York page is one such example, with a sortable database of accessible activities and businesses throughout the state. Whether a person is traveling to the Adirondacks or the Greater Niagara Falls Region, the database contains a list of accessible attractions and provides basic information about the accessibility of various features, including accessible entrances, bathrooms, and more.
The page also includes trip ideas for visitors who are autistic or have developmental disabilities, people who are blind or have low vision, and those who are deaf or hard of hearing.
OUR TAKE: I Love NY, working with the consulting division of Open Doors Organization, has done the important work of creating a page to welcome disabled travelers to New York. The database contains space for many more accessible activities, and we look forward to seeing this resource expanded to include many more of the great things to do in the State of New York!
