But those with disabilities often face challenges at every step of the travel- planning process and journey, resulting in fear, anxiety and frustration. Today, accessibleGO, the first hotel booking site for people with disabilities, is sharing solutions to common problems that people with disabilities face when they travel. The company is also proud to announce that two-time Paralympic medalist Andrew Kurka has joined as brand ambassador to inspire travelers that "Anything is Possible" when they book on accessibleGO.

"After being disabled at a teenager, I built a new identity and adapted to all the possibilities that life had to offer. But when it came to travel, I still faced the same accessibility issues as anybody else," said Andrew Kurka. "That's why I'm excited to join the accessibleGO team to help inspire people with disabilities realize their possibilities, overcome their fears, and make their travel dreams a reality."

"In a world where traveling with accessible needs can feel totally inaccessible, disabled travelers need a hotel booking service that does more than just finds them a room. They need a team that breaks down barriers to accessible travel, has their back and champions their needs, from booking to check-out," said Miriam Eljas, co-founder and CEO of accessibleGO.
