GBTA Convention 2024 continued strong yesterday with an amazing reminder that not all disabilities are visible and accessible travel is possible with a stronger, equitable travel program. How are you tackling accessible travel? #GBTAConvention2024
💡 Here is something to think about: When you get on the plane, know that ONE IN FOUR people have an accessibility need and 85% of disabilities are not visible. As shared during “A seamless journey: The Accessibility Opportunity for Business Travel” educational session at the GBTA Convention 2024, we can take action on accessible travel today. ☝ Suppliers and travel managers should conduct an accessibility self-assessment to benchmark where programs can improve ☝ Travel managers should strengthen systems to transparently collect and confidentially store traveler accessibility information ☝ Travel managers should respond to travelers who disclose their accessibility requirements with a proactive and transparent support structure ☝ Travel managers or buyers should send a demand signal for more accessible facilities and services through the procurement and supplier evaluation process ☝ The business travel industry should collaborate on a universal coding system that conveys more granular accessibility information that travelers commonly need We are thankful for our presenters and everyone who chose to attend this educational session. Kelsey Frenkiel Linda Bekoe Kimberly Johnson Cari Wurzbacher If you missed this one, catch the recording (along with all the other sessions) in the attendee hub on-demand! #accessibility #businesstravel #dei #inclusion #diversityandinclusion
