Recite Me Sectors

Leisure & Entertainment Accessibility

The entertainment industry is worth billions of dollars covering everything from food and drink to museums and amusement parks. To be totally inclusive, business-to-consumer organizations need to be accessible online.

Leisure and Entertainment Organizations Must Provide Customers with Support Online

Approximately one billion people globally have a disability and they can often face access barriers when visiting websites.

Website accessibility barriers exclude millions of people from finding the information they need to visit your business and buy your products and services. So if your company isn’t walking the walk when it comes to online inclusion, you’re missing out on some serious consumer spending.

Why you Should Provide Online Support in the Leisure and Entertainment Sector

Overcome Language Barriers

On-page translation and text-to-speech options make websites accessible for tourists who don’t speak or read in English as a first language.

Increased Revenue

1 in 5 people encounter access barriers online, so an accessible website can make a huge difference. People could be attending events at other parks, arenas, theaters, restaurants, and museums over yours because the information on their websites is easier to read.

Enhanced Brand Image

Welcoming people with varied disabilities and access needs promotes your commitment to inclusion and sets you apart from the competition.

Let us show you how easy it can be.

Thousands of entertainment web pages made accessible through the use of assistive technology

"DEIA is core to Cincinnati Opera's mission, and we launched Access Night at the Opera to help audiences of all abilities enjoy the full opera-going experience.
