Consulting

We use intersectional approaches to build inclusion into the global tourism industry,

We noticed the gaps to inclusion we identified were not being filled, so we fill them. Through our consultancy, we work our existing approaches into frameworks that we apply in our partnerships, to continue to build capability in the tourism industry.

Our consultancy services are at the heart of this mission. From hotels and transportation services, to tourism boards and travel companies, we collaborate with a diverse array of organisations to design and implement inclusive solutions that meet the highest standards.

Beyond just travel, we are a community. Planet Abled is a space where like-minded travelers and businesses come together to share tips, support, challenges, and success stories. We are proud to foster an inclusive environment where everyone can feel confident to explore the world.

Why Planet Abled?

Our expert team has a collective experience of disability of over 100 years, and have been service providers for all types of disabilities around the world. Our ground experience gives us the knowledge and deep understanding of the challenges of both travelers and businesses. We know what works in different parts of the world, and what doesn’t, and place huge emphasis on user acceptance testing to validate implementation.

A diverse group is seen exploring an art museum. There is a blind person, a person in a wheelchair and a sign language interpreter is seen on the left. There are other people also who do not have visible disabilities. The guide explains things to the group through various items in hand. There are beautiful paintings on the walls behind the group.
