VisitEngland launches accessibility toolkit for tourism businesses
VisitEngland has launched a new Accessible and Inclusive Toolkit for Tourism Businesses.
The toolkit provides practical guidance for an inclusive welcome, accessible buildings, employing disabled staff and creating accessibility information for disabled travellers.
Tourism Minister Sir John Whittingdale said: “I hope this becomes the go-to resource for visitor economy businesses across England.”
The free toolkit includes case studies, tips and downloadable business specific checklists to plan and prioritise improvements for disabled travelers.
The toolkit was designed with input from leading disability charities and travel trade associations.
It has been launched in the run up to the International Day of Persons with Disabilities on 3 December 2023.
VisitEngland Director Andrew Stokes said: “Our research shows that visitors in this important market value clear accessible information and tourism business want to provide it.”
“We want to support businesses to remove barriers so that visitors with accessibility requirements have the opportunity to enjoy our tourism.”
“It supports businesses to place accessibility at the centre of their operations.”
