Why Accessibility is Good for Your Business
Have you ever considered the market you might be missing by not being fully accessible? Travelers with disabilities are seeking businesses that understand and cater to their unique needs. Accessibility is more than a legal obligation—it’s a chance to enhance your brand’s reputation, improve customer loyalty, and expand your audience.
As more businesses recognize the importance of accessibility, those who act now will have the edge. Creating inclusive spaces and services not only shows a commitment to social responsibility but also taps into a thriving market with substantial spending power.
- $58.2 billion is spent annually by U.S. travelers with mobility disabilities.
- Travelers with disabilities take an average of 3.4 leisure trips each year, nearly matching the travel frequency of those without disabilities.
- 96% of travelers with mobility disabilities report experiencing accommodation issues during their trips.
- 86% have faced challenges with flights, including damaged mobility aids and inadequate assistance.
- 79% have encountered transportation issues at their destination, from inaccessible taxis to limited options for getting around.
By addressing accessibility, your business can attract a loyal and growing customer base, ensuring that all travelers feel welcomed and valued.
Closing the Accessibility Gap for Greater Customer Satisfaction
Picture this: A potential customer visits your business but faces obstacles because of a lack of accessible features. Maybe it’s a poorly designed website that doesn’t cater to individuals with visual impairments, or perhaps your physical store isn’t easily navigable by someone in a wheelchair. These accessibility gaps not only cause frustration but can also lead to lost business.
At Sage Inclusion, we’ve seen firsthand how closing these gaps can lead to greater customer satisfaction, increased brand loyalty, and higher revenue. When you address accessibility, you’re not just accommodating—you’re actively inviting customers to experience your business in a positive, meaningful way. Research shows that people with disabilities, as well as their families and friends, reward businesses that prioritize accessibility with their loyalty. This is a market you simply can’t afford to ignore.
Incorporating accessible design and solutions into your business isn’t just an ethical choice—it’s a business strategy that enhances your bottom line. Whether it’s improving your website’s functionality, upgrading your physical spaces, or offering accessible customer service, making these changes positions your brand for success.

The Alliance is the leading global network for responsible hospitality and is proud to
announce a partnership with Sage Inclusion, a company that offers accessibility
certification and training for organisations, as it promotes accessible and inclusive

ambitious targets to create a prosperous and responsible global hospitality sector

framework outlines how organisations can measure, minimise and embed diversity
and inclusivity within its value chain, with the aim to go beyond this and advocate for
inclusivity beyond the value chain.
The partnership will include collaborations and projects on the promotion of inclusive
travel as well as creating innovative measurements and risk-related tools to better
support and deliver services across the hospitality sector.

obtain the accessibility assessments, training, certification, marketing, and consulting
that they need to succeed in the large and growing accessible travel demographic"
