TOURISM MASTER CLASS - ATTAINABLE ACCESSIBILITY
Becoming more accessible can feel intimidating, overwhelming and expensive. Often, discussions around accessibility can come with the implication of large structural modifications and high price tags. However, becoming more accessible to all visitors should actually start with small, intentional changes.
Join us and local accessibility experts for Tourism Master Class: Attaining Accessibility, a panel discussion exploring practical ways to make your business more accessible and create a welcoming experience for all visitors.
After the panel, you'll have the opportunity to connect with organizations that offer accessibility resources and support. Leave with a toolkit of helpful resources and fresh ideas for enhancing accessibility within your business.
Class is in session—don’t miss out!
