BCD Travel report: Accessibility in travel

Travel can be stressful or complicated for anyone, but travelers with disabilities can face even more obstacles due to the way services and environments are designed. BCD Travel’s new report, Accessibility in Travel, examines the topic through the lens of business travel. 

 

What’s inside the report? 

The Accessibility in Travel report distinguishes between three types of accessibility: physical, communication and Web. Understanding the types and why they’re important can lead to providing a broad range of solutions that eliminate access barriers for travelers, ultimately generating business opportunities and greater product differentiation. 

Topics covered: 

  • 11 reasons why accessibility is important 
  • A brief summary of ISO Standard 21902 Accessible tourism for all 
  • A snapshot of main accessibility challenges 
  • Considerations for accessible travel services, including adapted hotel rooms and car rentals, mobility equipment hire and travel companion services
