With almost 1 in 5 Australians living with a disability, Spinal Life Australia and Cérge, a Peregian-based disability services and support organisation, invite tourism businesses to join their free Access Accelerator program, designed to make the Sunshine Coast and Noosa one of Australia's premier accessible tourism destinations.
Up to 50 businesses will take part in the program which aims to help businesses make changes so they can better understand and serve people with disability, creating an accessible and inclusive workplace that benefits everyone – and make the destination more accessible, inclusive, and welcoming to travellers with diverse accessibility needs.
The program will give businesses the knowledge, tools and confidence to create accessible tourism destinations through:
• Disability awareness training
• Use of award-winning inclusive technology
• Guided access and inclusion planning
• Promotional and marketing content
• Accessible tourism destination promotion
The program is free for businesses, thanks to a Queensland Government Accessible Tourism Enablers Grant for the Year of Accessible Tourism in Queensland.
