?? Destination Ann Arbor is the first Destination Verified city in Michigan! And we couldn’t be more excited to have them on board. Their commitment to accessibility means that everyone—no matter their ability—can experience the best of this charming town. For many travelers with disabilities, exploring nature, strolling through a historic downtown, or simply visiting a new place without barriers can feel out of reach. But the Ann Arbor area is proving that accessibility and adventure go hand in hand. As part of this collaboration, we assessed 35+ local spots—including hotels, restaurants, parks, museums, and transportation options—so that travelers with disabilities can plan with confidence. Over several days, we worked alongside Destination Ann Arbor and local businesses to capture what an accessible visit truly looks like. ?? What does this mean for travelers? More detailed accessibility information at their fingertips—empowering them to choose experiences that fit their unique needs. Because traveling your way is the best way. ?? Take a look at our video project below—the culmination of this incredible collaboration—and see how Ann Arbor is making inclusive travel a reality and setting the bar for accessibility in Michigan. ?? Huge thanks to the Destination Ann Arbor team and its partners for making this happen. Here’s to more destinations following your lead! ??
