MAY 3 DEADLINE - Westchester Accessible Tourism for Westchester Country

The Westchester Accessible Tourism RFQ calls for proposals from training providers to develop a program aiding tourism partners in accommodating travelers with disabilities.

  • Despite progress since the ADA, challenges persist. Westchester's diversity necessitates inclusive tourism.

  • The program aims to educate partners on creating welcoming environments, understanding diverse disabilities, and identifying accommodations.

  • Trainings include in-person and online sessions covering staff training, disability awareness, and accessibility features.

  • Positive, interactive sessions will equip attendees with practical strategies. Proposals should detail the provider's experience, delivery methods, and targeting of both experienced and novice professionals. Questions are due by April 16, proposals by May 3.

  • Training is slated for July and September. Westchester County boasts a diverse landscape, top schools, and a robust economy. Westchester County Tourism & Film promotes the region as a premier destination.
