The "Accessible and Inclusive Tourism Toolkit for Businesses" podcast on the Rubber Cheese YouTube channel, aired on February 7, 2024, features Emily Yates, Head of Accessibility and Inclusive Design at MIMA. This toolkit, co-created by MIMA and Visit Britain, serves as a crucial resource for travel, tourism, and hospitality organizations aiming to enhance accessibility and inclusivity. Emily discusses the toolkit's development process, its significance in promoting accessible tourism, and its anticipated evolution. As a wheelchair user with cerebral palsy and extensive experience as an accessibility consultant, Emily has collaborated with major global entities such as Heathrow Airport, COP28, and the Science Museum Group, advocating for improved physical, social, and digital accessibility measures worldwide. Her expertise underscores the toolkit's importance in advancing access and inclusion across diverse sectors.
