The recent closure of Revitalise, a key provider of respite holidays for people with disabilities, highlights an urgent need for more inclusive and sustainable solutions in the travel industry. While challenges like “access washing” and inconsistent accessibility standards persist, there are promising signs of progress. From TUI’s detailed access guides, to companies like Limitless Travel providing accessibility experiences for everyone, some are stepping up to make travel truly accessible. At Be My Eyes, we’re proud to play our part in advancing accessibility in hospitality, thanks to our partnership with Hilton. Through this partnership, Hilton guests who are blind or have low vision can connect directly with Hilton’s dedicated agents for live assistance, or simply ask an AI-powered assistant, tailored to the Hilton experience. The journey to a fully accessible world continues, but together, we’re making meaningful strides. Let’s keep the momentum going! 🚀 Read more about the current state of accessible travel in this great article! https://lnkd.in/dATtB_Mz #Accessibility #InclusiveTravel #Hospitality #BeMyEyes #Hilton
