People travelling with accessibility needs already represents over $13 billion in revenue for ournational visitor economy. As this market grows in coming years, so too will the value to oursector. It’s imperative that Victoria is seen as leaders in catering for the accessibility
requirements of our visitors and works to prepare the industry to cater for this important
