The first travel information portal dedicated to provide information for persons with disabilities using wheelchair for mobility, www.Free2Wheel.co.in was launched last month in Delhi. The first of its kind, the portal set-up by AccessAbility (Universal Design and Disability Employment Specialist), lists over 1,800 sites in Delhi and National Capital Region (NCR) that are equipped with accessible features. The portal provides a detailed overview of provisions for wheelchair accessibility in various listed places such as: budget and star hotels, shopping malls, historical monuments, restaurants/bars/pubs/nightclubs, fares, currency exchange counters, tourist information centres (their timings) parking information, etc. It also offers the option for users to publish travelogues, pictures, blogs and provide feedback on various tourist places. |
