Having an Accessibility Strategy isn't just about checking boxes —it’s about creating a strategic advantage that strengthens your workforce, enhances guest experiences, and expands your pool of qualified talent. In this 90-minute workshop, hoteliers will explore why every hotel needs an accessibility strategy, the benefits of proactive inclusion, and the common hurdles organizations face on their accessibility journey. We will walk through key elements of long-term success, including planning, implementation, and measuring progress.

Following the strategy workshop, Tourism HR Canada’s Tourism Workplace Accessibility Clinic team will share how their advisory services help tourism employers recruit, retain, and support employees with disabilities, offering practical guidance on inclusive hiring, workplace adjustments, and accessibility planning to strengthen your business and address staffing challenges.

The session will conclude with a networking opportunity connecting hoteliers with disability service providers and employer agencies that help individuals with barriers to employment find meaningful work in hotels. Come ready to participate, ask questions, take lots of notes, and walk away with actionable ideas and new community connections you can bring back to your workplace.
