Access Earth members give each other the specific information they need to try new restaurants, hotels and tourist attractions without worrying about accessibility.
‘Accessible’ means something different to each of us. That’s why Access Earth members can search and share specific, relevant accessibility information based on our set criteria. |

| A Nuts and Bolts Guide for Wheelers and Slow Walkers by Candy Harrington. |
| Euan’s Guide is the disabled access review website that aims to ‘remove the fear of the unknown’ and inspire people to try new places. The website was founded in 2013 by brother and sister, Euan and Kiki MacDonald, after Euan became a powerchair user. After spending hours of their time making enquiries about access at places they wanted to go, the duo realised that they could not be alone in their search for disabled access information. This idea became Euan’s Guide, a digital charity that is helping to open up towns and cities to disabled people everywhere. Attractions, accommodation, socialising, events, activities, other places. |
| The feature has been rolled out in six big metropolitan cities: London, New York, Tokyo, Mexico City, Boston, and Sydney, with more to come. Check how to access it in this article. |
| Our informative videos, WJAR Ratings, and accessibility reviews and ratings let you know which hotels, restaurants, attractions, services and cruise lines have made the investment to provide suitable wheelchair accessibility, and more importantly which businesses have chosen to ignore the needs of consumers in wheelchairs. |
| WHAT IS WHEELMAP.ORG?
Wheelmap is a map for finding wheelchair accessible places. The map works similiar to Wikipedia: anyone can contribute and mark public places around the world according to their wheelchair accessibility. The criteria for marking places is based on a simple traffic light system:
Green = Fully wheelchair accessible
Yellow = Partly wheelchair accessible
Red = Not wheelchair accessible
Places that are not yet marked according to their wheelchair accessibility have a grey marker. They can be marked by anybody quickly and easily. The information that is collected in this way is easy to understand, available free of charge and can be shared freely. Wheelmap.org is based on the world map OpenStreetMap and shows 130 different types of places. These place types are illustrated by the icons in the green, yellow, red and grey markers. Have a look a the entire list of icons that are currently shown on Wheelmap.
Wheelmap.org is available as a web application and as an app for iPhone, Android und Windows 10. |

| Welcome to the Website of ENAT - the European Network for Accessible Tourism.
ENAT was founded in January 2006 by nine sponsoring organisations who wanted to create a membership network for all those ‘who support or want to know more about accessible tourism in Europe’. Through our network we aim to help the tourism industry overcome the many barriers facing tourists who have greater or smaller access needs: lack of information, transport difficulties, architectural barriers and inadequate service standards.

| All travellers will get more out of their trip by being able to speak a few words of the local language, but for people with a disability it’s often vital to be able to explain your particular needs. Since standard phrasebooks are unlikely to contain the language you need to talk about needs around disability we’ve gathered together some disability-specific words and phrases and translated them into as many different languages as we practically could. Although things are slowly changing for the better, there are still plenty of barriers to travel for people with a disability – language doesn’t have to be yet another. |
