How can sites promote Neuroinclusive and accessible design to addressing both physical and digital access needs? By creating accessible tourist sites, businesses and organizations can help to promote understanding and empathy for individuals with sensory sensitivities and other challenges. These sites prioritizing accessibility and inclusivity are likely to gain a positive reputation among visitors, which can help to attract more visitors and build brand loyalty.
While physical access is essential for individuals who are able to visit sites in person, digital twins and virtual experiences provide a crucial avenue for accessibility and inclusion for those who may not be able to visit a site in person due to physical, financial, or other constraints.
By addressing the needs of diverse travelers through neuroinclusive and accessible design, tourist sites can create more enjoyable, engaging, and educational experiences for all visitors.
