The physical barriers to accessible travel get most of the attention — ramps, doorways, roll-in showers. They’re visible, measurable, and relatively straightforward to fix. The attitudinal barriers are quieter. They don’t show up in a compliance checklist, and they often do more damage to a trip than any physical obstacle — because they show up […]

The accessible tourism market is one of the fastest-growing — and most overlooked — segments in global hospitality.
