Tourism can be a catalyst for equality. Today, an estimated 1.3 billion people worldwide live with a significant disability, and a staggering 80% of them reside in developing countries and emerging destinations. When people with disabilities travel, they are typically accompanied by two to three others—highlighting a clear opportunity for destinations and businesses to expand both their workforce and customer base.
