NYC tourism launches accessible travel search tool
NYC & Company has launched a new tool aiming to improve the trip planning process for disabled travelers.
A new Accessible NYC guide allows users to search hotels, restaurants and attractions based on their accessibility for disabled and hearing and visually impaired visitors.
It includes sections such as ‘Accessible Broadway Theater’ and the ‘Accessible Arts & Culture Calendar.’
"Every single person who visits should be able to experience the countless attractions offered throughout New York City. Our goal is to make sure accessibility does not stand in the way of enjoying incredible destinations across all five boroughs. Accessible NYC visitor resources help make that goal a reality," New York City mayor Bill de Blasio said.
NYC & Company says that about 10% of the 60 million annual visitors to NYC have a disability.
"New York City is the most inspirational and exciting destination on the planet, and we believe that experiencing its attractions and energy should be accessible to every visitor," added Fred Dixon, president and CEO of NYC & Company.
"Accessible NYC will not only provide unique, inspirational content for visitors but will provide more and new information for planning their New York City experience."
