Verified travel destination for people with disabilities
Wheel the World, an organization that helps people with disabilities book accessible travel, has recognized Dutchess County for providing accurate accessibility information for hotels, activities and restaurants.
Fifty sites, including three in Beacon, were evaluated on features ranging from obstacle-free areas to bed heights to signage in order to accommodate guests with mobility, vision, hearing, sensory and other needs.
Dutchess Tourism contracted Wheel the World to provide on-site assessments highlighting positive areas of accessibility standards as well as areas for improvement. Online training was provided on how to offer inclusive service for people with accessibility needs.
