Cancun is working to create a comprehensive tourism guide specifically designed for visitors with disabilities. This initiative, announced by local authorities and tourism officials, aims to highlight accessible hotels, restaurants, beaches, and recreational activities throughout the popular vacation destination. The goal is to ensure that tourists with mobility, visual, auditory, or other impairments can plan their trips with confidence and enjoy a welcoming experience.

The project involves collaboration between the Benito Juárez Department of Inclusive Tourism, the Quintana Roo Ministry of Tourism, and various private sector tourism service providers. Together, they are compiling a detailed catalog of establishments that meet specific accessibility standards. This includes features like ramps, accessible restrooms, information in Braille, staff trained in sign language, and other necessary accommodations.

According to the information released, the new guide will be available in both digital and printed formats, making it easily accessible to potential visitors as they plan their travels. The digital version is expected to be interactive, allowing users to filter by specific needs and locate suitable options quickly.

Officials emphasized that this initiative is not just about compliance but about genuinely fostering an environment of inclusion. They recognize the significant and growing market of travelers with disabilities and want to position Cancun as a leading destination that caters to their needs.

The development of this catalog is a response to the need for clear and reliable information for tourists with disabilities. Often, finding accurate details about accessibility can be a major hurdle when planning a vacation. This new guide aims to remove that barrier.

While a precise launch date for the completed guide has not yet been announced, authorities are reportedly working diligently to gather and verify the information. The tourism sector in Cancun has shown enthusiasm for the project, with many businesses eager to be included and to showcase their accessible facilities. This proactive approach is a positive sign for the future of accessible tourism in the region.
