Travel Guard Launches Accessible Travel Safety Initiative
Travel Guard, part of Zurich Cover-More, has launched an accessible travel safety initiative aimed at empowering travelers with disabilities. The new resource hub offers expert guidance and practical tools to help individuals plan trips considering accessibility needs in transportation, accommodations, and destinations. According to a survey commissioned by Travel Guard involving 889 participants, most respondents consider reliable accessibility information crucial when planning travel. Many have avoided certain destinations due to concerns about accessibility, highlighting the need for better resources. Rhonda Sloan, CMO of North America at Travel Guard, emphasized that this initiative builds on their long-standing commitment to improving travel safety and preparedness. The initiative addresses a wide range of needs including mobility, vision, hearing, cognitive challenges, sensory issues, and medical conditions like allergies. The goal is to help travelers anticipate accessibility requirements and navigate journeys more comfortably.
