Armed with a cellphone and a tape measure, Wheel the World’s Malachy Sundstrom is helping ensure you can have a pleasant travel experience in Door County no matter your physical abilities. Wheel the World and Destination Door County are collaborating to assess local tourism businesses and attractions for their accessibility. From the height of counters and desks to the width of doors and showers, Sundstrom checks off dozens of accessibility data points during every visit, with some restaurants and shops taking as little as 20 minutes and state parks taking as long as three to four hours.

The information is then analyzed and published by the team at Wheel the World, where it can be accessed by more than 80,000 users with accessibility concerns. Sundstrom says the work is done as an informational resource for travelers and businesses alike.

Sundstrom expects to visit more than 30 businesses during his time in Door County ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday. He hopes that more businesses sign up in the spring to participate through Destination Door County.
