DISABILITY TRAVEL: Good Access Is Great Business!

February 6, 2013

He holds a young boy on his lap.In advance of the 2013 Explore Minnesota Tourism Conference on February 12-13 at the Hilton Minneapolis Hotel, we offer a reminder that your travel-related or lodging business can reap rewards if you welcome people with disabilities. Making your hotel, cabin, lodge, or campground accessible to a growing number of people with disposable income is a profitable proposition! Baby boomers are aging, and according to the American Fact Finder, more than 50% of those over the age of 65 have a disability. Combined with people under the age of 65 who are disabled, you have a significant portion of your potential market. Access is good business!
