Gabriel N. Toggenburg's article, published on May 13, 2023, outlines 36 measures to improve accessibility in hotels and accommodations. The article emphasizes that truly accessible accommodations are rare and highlights the societal need for inclusive design. It covers structural and design elements, such as wheelchair-accessible entrances, braille controls, zero-threshold showers, and accessible kitchens and bedrooms. The article argues that accessibility benefits everyone, not just individuals with disabilities, and underscores the importance of societal responsibility in overcoming accessibility barriers. This is significant for promoting inclusivity and improving the travel experience for people with varying mobility needs.
