International Women in Travel and Tourism Forum (IWTTF) delegates were on Thursday (27 June) told making travel inclusive and accessible to all was a moral and economic imperative.
"Disabled people are disenfranchised by our industry as it’s neither accessible nor inclusive,” said Richard Thompson, co-founder and chief executive of inclusive travel agency Inclu.
“We have to recognise that one in six of the world’s population has a disability,” he continued. “It’s not a niche market, we have kept it that way, but it’s not. It’s low-hanging fruit.”
