TravelAbility Named to Condé Nast Traveler’s “Beyond Barriers: 25 People Making the World More Accessible for 2025”

We are beyond thrilled to share that Jake Steinman and TravelAbility have been recognized in Condé Nast Traveler’s prestigious “Beyond Barriers: 25 People Making the World More Accessible for 2025” list! This honor represents so much more than a milestone—it’s a testament to the extraordinary work of our advisory board, summit leaders, and the entire TravelAbility community. Together, you’ve turned a bold idea into a movement that is reshaping the travel industry, proving that accessibility is not just a checkbox but a driving force for innovation, empathy, and inclusion.

From the advisory board members and those who helped conceptualize TravelAbility (you’ll notice some of them also made the list as individuals), to the noise makers and advocates, this recognition belongs to you. Your dedication to breaking barriers, sharing knowledge, and championing inclusivity has inspired a wave of progress, and we’re so proud to see the mainstream travel industry taking notice. This is not just a win for TravelAbility—it’s a win for each of you as you continue to work towards a world that’s truly accessible to all.

Let’s celebrate how far we’ve come while continuing to push the boundaries of what’s possible. Together, we’re proving that accessibility isn’t just about compliance—it’s about creating a world where everyone belongs. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey!
