Accessibility - Keys to Inclusive Hospitality



Accessibility - Keys to Inclusive Hospitality

Feb 20, 2025. From: 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM

Adequate accessibility will only become more essential to tourism and travel revenues in the coming years as the number of seniors and visitors grows: 



  • People with disabilities are the largest minority in the world, comprising an estimated 16% of the U.S. adult population. 



  • These travelers, who often stay longer and spend more while traveling, spent almost $50 billion per year on travel in the past two years.*


Join Destination DC and experts from the Mid-Atlantic ADA Center and the Open Doors Organization for an introductory conversation on accessible travel and how to succeed in welcoming this vital demographic. 


Speakers: 



  • Ann Deschamps, Ed.D., Director, Mid-Atlantic ADA Center and TransCen, Inc.

  • Craig Kennedy, Program Coordinator, Open Doors Organization
