Based on a recent GBTA study, sponsored by Deem, travel managers
are challenged with understanding and providing technology
solutions for accessible travel. Almost a third of travel managers
say their corporate booking tool does a poor job accommodating
these travelers and two-thirds say their company does not have
clearly defined processes or resources for accessible travel.
Business travelers also report difficulties when booking trips -
facing challenges such as vision, cognitive or motor impairments
that can make it impossible to use traditional devices and websites
effectively.
Join GBTA and Deem's Head of Product Design, April Durrett, as they
discuss the latest research and evolving technology design
principles, and how that impacts travel for everyone — with or
without disabilities.
In this podcast you'll learn how:
* Travel managers are feeling about their current accessibility
challenges
* Travelers with impairments navigate online booking solutions
* Accessible technology can encourage policy adoption and boost
employee compliance
* Creating accessible solutions helps more people travel more
confidently
* Meeting WCAG 2.0 accessibility guidelines makes a difference for
all of your travelers
