Client Spotlight: Celebrating Inclusive Destination Leadership
At Advance Travel & Tourism, we know that the best destinations tell meaningful stories and deliver exceptional experiences for every traveler. That’s why we’re thrilled to celebrate Clay County Tourism for earning “Destination Verified” status from Wheel the World – a recognition of their leadership in creating welcoming and inclusive travel experiences.
Over a dedicated six-month initiative, Clay County worked with Wheel the World to evaluate accessibility across 30 local destinations – from parks and museums to eateries and attractions. The result? A verified platform that gives travelers with diverse needs confidence, clarity, and inspiration when planning their visit.
This achievement not only elevates Clay County’s accessibility credentials on a global stage, but it also strengthens community connections and supports an industry that welcomes millions of visitors and sustains thousands of local jobs each year.
Congratulations to Clay County Tourism for setting a strong example of how innovative destination strategy meets inclusive travel in action. Accessibility isn’t just good for people, it’s good for tourism.
