Who are People With Disabilties (PWD’s)?

We are people who love to go out with friends and family to restaurants and attractions; we are just like you!

What’s more, despite preconceived notions, we have significant spending power! “Inclusive Tourism” or the “Disability Market” as it’s also known, is a large and profitable segment of the consumer market that has been ignored for too long.

Accessibility is for:

  • people with disabilities

  • aging baby boomers

  • parents with strollers

  • people on crutches

  • deliveries on dollies

What do we need? 

  • Ramps vs stairs

  • Curb cuts or cutaways

  • Automatic door openers

  • Wheelchair accessible bathrooms

  • Friendly, trained staff

  • Products and services designed for use by all

Accessible Tourism Benefits EVERYONE!

Why accessibility should matter to businesses:

On average we spend more money and we are more easily converted into repeat customers than your average customer or visitor.

We are PASSIONATE about businesses and brands that align with our core values of accessibility and inclusion.

We are loud and influential too! We travel with people who have an innate understanding of disability and the impact of it on the ones they love.

All together we make up more than a third of the population with a total disposable income of $311 billion in Canada alone.
