Destination Door County, Wheel By World partner on accessibility assessment
Ensuring residents and visitors can enter your business or non-profit safely is a primary goal of an accessibility assessment being offered by Destination Door County. The organization is partnering with the accessible travel platform Wheel the World in the evaluation to provide suggestions for becoming a more inclusive and visitor-friendly destination. Approximately 30 percent of the world is affected by a disability, but it is not slowing them down. According to Wheel the World, 15 million people with accessibility needs travel at least once a year, spending $120 billion annually. Destination Door County Community Engagement Manager Amanda Stuck says the assessment is not a crackdown on whether or not you are ADA-compliant, but rather a way to see how you improve your business’s accessibility and plan ahead for the future.
Up to seventy Door County businesses, nonprofits, and government entities can apply for a free accessibility assessment through Wheel the World and Destination Door County. You can learn more about the process during a free informational webinar on Tuesday, June 17th at 10 a.m. You can learn more about the event by clicking this link.
