Podcast Link: How Accessible Go is Changing Travel
Navigating the world with a disability can often feel like an uphill battle, especially when it comes to travel. We’ve experienced it firsthand as we journey with our son Lliam. Our struggles sparked a conversation and led us on a journey to understand more about accessibility. We found ourselves crossing paths with the passionate advocates behind AccessibleGo – a leading accessible travel website in the US that’s revolutionizing the game for travelers with disabilities. Today, we’re thrilled to bring you a deep dive into this fantastic platform and the people at its helm.
In our chat with AccessibleGo’s Program Manager, Patch Epstein she gives us an inside look into how they’re breaking down barriers in travel, confirming accessibility for each booking, and generating revenue while doing so. Patch shares the experiences of several clients and the transformative impact AccessibleGo has had on their travels. Plus, we pick her brain on ways we can make our own spaces more welcoming and accessible.
We round off our discussion by delving into the wide array of services AccessibleGo offers to improve travel accessibility, and Patch shares their vision for the future. From booking accommodations to providing a treasure trove of resources for travelers with disabilities – they’re truly making a difference. Patch also talks about their inspiring Travel Inspiration blog, a brilliant resource for activity ideas. So, let’s explore together and learn about the incredible work AccessibleGo is doing to pave the way for truly accessible travel for all.
