Unlock accessibility for your guests and visitors with low vision and blindness.
Think about your business as it is currently. Now imagine entering your business under blindfold. Are the walkways and entrances clear of protruding obstacles? Is your venue well-lit or include high contrast colours to help identify doors from walls? Do you have tactile or clear signage to help people navigate your venue?
Guide Dogs is excited to present our accessibility toolkit for tourism operators, event organisers and anyone working in the tourism industry, to support them in making tourism experiences in Queensland accessible for all.
The Accessible Tourism toolkit was proudly funded and supported by the Queensland Government.
