Accessible business travel is a significant and large component of the market. But it is often overlooked, underserved or misunderstood. With Accessibility becoming a vital element of companies' DEI / ESG commitments and policies, it is an opportune time to rethink how to address the requirements of this large traveling constituency.  A double win for the travel industry: realizing the financial potential of this market while supporting the corporate missions of companies. 

Topics to be addressed:

• Who are the accessible travelers: common misconceptions vs reality
• Facts and fiction of the accessible travel market
• DEI/ESG and Accessibility
• The Accessible Triangle: a practical approach
• Common sense solutions 
• Low hanging fruit and long-term benefits
