The EAA mandates that all digital products and services—including travel and e-commerce websites—must be accessible to people with disabilities, particularly those with visual impairments.
This isn’t about “nice to have” anymore.
It’s a legal requirement, and the consequences are real:
- Fines up to €60,000
- Imprisonment up to 18 months
Why now? Because nearly 100 million people in the EU live with some form of disability. That’s a massive audience your website may be excluding—unintentionally, but critically.
At Access SHR, we’ve identified five essential upgrades every Vision platform site needs to meet compliance:
- Keyboard navigation (including “skip to content”)
- ARIA labels for screen readers
- Text and contrast adjustment tools
- AI-driven image descriptions
- Accessibility-first tabbing structure
These features aren’t just about avoiding penalties.
They’re about opening the digital doors of your hotel to everyone.
The deadline is real. The risk is real. The opportunity is even bigger.
