In this episode, I speak to Supported Travel eXperiences co-founders Yann Charavel and Andrew Hagar about the amazing work they do in providing people with disabilities with wonderful travel experiences. We discussed:
- Challenges brought about by COVID-19 travel restrictions which make simple things like flight bookings taking a lot more effort
- Technology allowing them to manage travel needs and reduce the unexpected
- Importance of contact through the traveller’s experience
- Overcoming the fear of travel especially the intimidation of travel right after COVID-19 restrictions ease
- Impact of rich travel data on improving the experience and reducing uncertainty in accessible tourism
- Future of AI and machine learning to identify experience scenarios and cross check them against the travellers’ requirements automatically
- Importance of medical support in the near future of travel
Note: CRM: Customer Relationship Management system; NDIS: National Disability Insurance Scheme (in Australia)
