We are thrilled to enter a three year partnership with Quest Apartment Hotels, (under The Ascott Group umbrella of brands). We chose to partner with Quest Apartment Hotels having seen the company embrace accessible tourism as an early adopter of this growing market. The key objectives will be:
1. All Quest employees and Franchisees will be completing the Tourism Inclusion Training Program that Accessible Accommodation and Spinal Cord Injuries Australia co-wrote. A 2 to 3-hour online course designed to ensure guests with disabilities are understood and receive a warm welcome when staying at one of the many fantastic apartment locations around Australia.
2. Accessible Accommodations consulting service is made available to assist in improving and exceeding the current accessible design in the existing Quest Apartment Hotels sites. Furthermore, the new construction underway and planned will also benefit from our consulting service.
3. Working together to broaden our Accessible Experiences offering by harnessing the Quest locations’ extensive insight into local experiences where accessibility is considered.
We are delighted to announce our partnership with Spinal Cord Injuries Australia (SCIA). Both our organisations share common goals, which we will be sharing with you in more detail over the next week. Broadly, our goals are:
1. To remove barriers to accessible travel
2. To seek partnerships with the travel industry with paths to employment for SCIA members in travel.
SCIA support not just people with Spinal Cord injuries, rather, they have also grown to encompass support for Neurological conditions in their 50 years of operation. Their vision is to create a world where people with spinal & neuro conditions and their loved ones thrive. In doing so, they are advancing the rights, choices and entitlements of people living with spinal cord injuries and other neuro conditions.
The Accessible Group, through its websites Accessible Accommodation and Accessible Experiences, are helping to change the landscape of accessible travel, with detailed information and booking service for people with disabilities around Australia.
Together, SCIA and The Accessible Group aim to advance our mantra: “Because everyone deserves a break”
