  • 40% (about 30 million) of Americans 65+ will live with a disability (McKinsey & Company).

Travel data

  • 44% of grandparents have taken a multigenerational trip with their grandchildren; roughly half help pay (AARP).
  • 57% of parents plan to travel with grandparents and children, potentially influencing 35% of all travel (Family Travel Association).
  • 18% of traveler parties included someone who required accessibility services in 2025 (Longwoods International 2025 Survey).
  • 30,000 monthly accessibility requests to a major cruise line call center (source noted as confidential).
