Amilla Maldives

This New Platform Is Changing Accessible Travel by Verifying Luxury Hotels

"This Maldivian resort is the first property to earn Verified by IncluCare five-star status, an accreditation awarded only to hotels that have demonstrated guest-inclusivity excellence for at least 24 months (or by discretionary exception for exemplary accessibility). Imagery and reporting highlight accessible leisure features—such as poolside access for guests using wheelchairs—and the property completed Inclu’s multi-step evaluation process including an Inclusive Hospitality Appraisal, staff training webinar, and an action-and-adjustment plan to improve accessibility and inclusivity across facilities and services." - Katie Nadworny Katie Nadworny Katie Nadworny is an Istanbul-based writer who specializes in stories at the intersection of culture and politics in Turkey, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East.
