INSURERS INFLATE TRAVEL COVER COSTS BY AUD $560 FOR DISABLED PEOPLE
Three in five (60%) listed at least one challenge they faced while travelling due to the agent or provider they were using not being accessible to disabled people. One-fifth of disabled people reported feeling unsafe and scared when travelling.
Because of this, feelings of embarrassment, isolation and being disregarded were also felt by a quarter of the respondents that were surveyed.
The Valuable 500 is the largest global collective of CEOs committed to disability inclusion. High profile members include Expedia, Airbnb, Heathrow Airport, and British Airways.
The business collective has released a 7-point manifesto that each travel industry provider should abide by to ensure best practice. To be part of this please register interest at the following email: travelmanifesto@thevaluable500.com.
