Airport Project by IBCCES

Empowering Inclusive Travel Experiences through Accessible Airports

Recognizing the fundamental importance of accessibility in travel, IBCCES has launched the Top 100 Airport Project to revolutionize the airport experience worldwide. Through this initiative, we’re committed to transforming airports into accessible and inclusive spaces where every traveler, regardless of ability, feels welcomed and supported.

This initiative will empower people with disabilities to plan their journeys with confidence, providing them with crucial information beforehand and ensuring they feel empowered to explore even before they arrive at their destination.

Why is Accessibility Important?

In today’s dynamic travel landscape, accessibility stands as a gateway to innovation and progress. By embracing accessibility as a core principle, airports not only meet regulatory standards but also unlock a world of opportunities.

  • Accessibility serves as a catalyst for growth within the travel industry, opening doors to a vast market segment and untapped revenue streams.
  • Prioritizing accessibility isn’t just about meeting regulatory requirements; it’s about fostering an environment of inclusivity and respect for all travelers.
  • By investing in accessible infrastructure and services, airports can differentiate themselves from competitors, enhance passenger satisfaction, and unlock new opportunities for growth and success.

Pre-planning

The journey begins with knowledge. The app allows users to explore and identify certified services available at their destination airport and in the city beyond. Take Dubai, for example: the app features an interactive map loaded with certified transportation options, accommodations, and attractions, offering plentiful choices for every need.

Originating Airport

A smooth start is crucial. At the airport, travelers can easily pick up a sunflower lanyard from designated kiosks. This is also the perfect opportunity to download the Accessibility App, ensuring a handy guide is always at their fingertips.

Destination Airport

Arrival made easy. With the app, passengers gain instant access to detailed maps of the airport, including sensory guides, locations for sunflower lanyard pickup, and tranquil areas, all supported by well-trained staff ready to assist.

Destination City

The journey continues with confidence. The Accessibility App provides a gateway to all the certified sites within the city, covering everything from attractions and hotels to healthcare facilities, ensuring a seamless and inclusive experience throughout the visit.
