As Americans get back to traveling, what they want from a trip is changing. Instead of weekend getaways, they’re looking for longer and more suburban options at any time – and as Airbnb looks to bounce back from a year without travel, it’s catering to open-ended travel by enabling flexibility.

Airbnb has transformed travel for millions, but people with disabilities are often left unsatisfied by the limited options for accessible accommodation, transport, and medical equipment. Accomable aims to fill this gap, letting them tailor trips that cater to their specific requirements.

Australian travel organisation Bound Round is publishing a disability-specific magazine, Travel Without Limits, which champions inclusion and accessible tourism. Many people with disabilities struggle to plan trips, so brands are beginning to lean into their needs and facilitate accessible travelling.

Microsoft’s Accessibility Checker makes documents more accessible to users with disabilities and it has recently been made more prominent within the Office Suite. Does this mark a significant push in the technology industry to recognise and cater to people with disabilities?
