Problem
Travelers with disabilities face significant challenges in finding reliable and comprehensive information about accessibility when planning trips, leading to uncertainty and potential disappointment. Existing travel platforms often lack detailed accessibility data, making it difficult to confidently book accommodations, transportation, and activities that meet specific needs. This information gap can result in inaccessible experiences and limit travel opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
Solution
AccessibleGo is a travel platform designed to provide individuals with disabilities with the resources needed to confidently plan and book accessible travel experiences. The platform offers a search engine that filters hotels, cars, vans, mobility equipment, and flights based on specific accessibility needs, such as roll-in showers, ADA tubs, hand controls, and wheelchair-accessible vehicles. AccessibleGo's team contacts hotels directly to confirm accessibility requests and ensure accommodations meet traveler requirements. The platform also features a community forum where travelers can share tips, ask questions, and connect with others, creating a supportive network for accessible travel.
