Today we launch the first issue of our monthly newsletter, the TravelAbilty Report, which will include profiles, features and news designed for travel suppliers and destinations who have an interest in making the travel experience accessible (and enjoyable) to everyone. It is a complement to the Travel Ability Summit (TAS), a b2b event that will bring together destinations, airports, attractions, travel providers and a host of cutting edge experts and product innovators to better understand how to make the opportunities to make travel easier for those with a variety of disabilities. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recently published a report that found that one fifth of the US population has some form of disability. This, of course, doesn’t even account for the coming baby-boomer generation who is just now entering their 70’s.
Our hope is that those attending the Summit and reading this newsletter use the information and contacts to raise awareness and educate their organizations and stakeholders. The first TAS will be held Nov. 12-13, 2019 in San Francisco.
As you look over this inaugural issue, you might find that you may know of someone with an idea, a product, or a service that may warrant inclusion in this newsletter. Please e-mail me us at jake@northamericanjourneys.com.
