VisitEngland collaborates with AccessAble to help English tourism venues enhance accessibility. Through AccessAble’s Your Accessibility Guide portal, businesses can now obtain detailed access guides, aiding visitors with impairments in making informed decisions.
VisitEngland is working with AccessAble to support hospitality and tourism businesses across England to provide detailed descriptions of their venue accessibility for visitors.
Through AccessAble’s new Your Accessibility Guide portal, businesses can book and pay for either a guided or on-site assessment of their venue, where a professional surveyor will create a quality-assured Detailed Access Guide.
VisitEngland Director Andrew Stokes said: “Our research confirms that today’s travellers with health conditions and impairments want detailed descriptions of venues’ accessibility to help make decisions. These new guides provide clear, quality-assured information, supporting them to make the best choices. By making these user-friendly guides available on AccessAble’s website, attractions, accommodation providers and other tourism businesses can tap into this valuable market further.

At the same time, we have had significant numbers of venues across the UK asking to join our service. The Your Accessibility Guide portal is our answer.

Flights on This New Airline for Dogs — with $8,000 Tickets — Are Selling Out
Air travel is now going to the dogs — but in style.Bark Air, a new airline designed completely for pups, recently made its inaugural flight from New York to Los Angeles. The service currently operates limited routes servicing New York, Los Angeles, Paris, and London. The airline is encouraging people to suggest future routes through an online form. A one-way ticket from New York to Los Angeles costs $6,000 and a one-way ticket from New York to London costs $8,000. From New York, the airline operates out of a private airport in Westchester County, and flies to the Van Nuys airport outside of Los Angeles. “We are excited to take the insights we’ve learned over the years to create an experience that is truly dog-first, which is drastically different from just accepting dogs – from the ground to the skies,” Bark’s CEO Matt Meeker said in a statement.
