Why on TravaPowa: While tourism must become more inclusive and accessible, cities and services should adapt to everyone's needs. Wheel the World bridges these two necessities by:

• Making Travel Truly Inclusive – Wheel the World breaks down barriers, making it possible for people with disabilities to explore destinations confidently and comfortably, ensuring a more inclusive tourism industry.
• Designing Sustainable Cities – By working with hotels and tour operators to improve accessibility, Wheel the World contributes to reducing inequalities and shaping cities and communities that are inclusive and sustainable, as outlined in SDGs 10 and 11. Promoting accessibility in tourism means creating cities that welcome all travelers, and consequently, all locals, fostering a more equitable society.
• Adopting a Future-Oriented Vision – Accessibility in travel isn’t just for people with disabilities today. As populations age, mobility needs will increase, making inclusive design essential for future generations. Wheel the World helps create a travel industry that anticipates and adapts to these needs.
• Raising Awareness – The platform’s work extends beyond practical solutions. By showcasing the importance of accessibility, Wheel the World shifts perspectives, fostering a world where inclusivity isn’t an afterthought—it’s a priority.
