Accessible Tourism: Good Economic Strategy

Regina Mayolo, Technical Assistance Specialist of the West Virginia Assistive Technology System, will discuss marketing accessible tourism and recreation to potential visitors of all abilities in this 30-minute session. Sixty percent of individuals with disabilities are over the age of 65, and many of these are Baby Boomers, the same population that in the next five years will control 70% of the disposable wealth in this county. In this webinar, you will learn how to capture this audience and increase awareness of your location as a destination friendly to individuals with disabilities and those who may have changing mobility or sensory needs.
