In the UAE’s accessible tourism sector, Amsaan Accessible Tours, a firm that specializes in designing trips for deaf people, has emerged as a pioneer. The “Deaf for the Deaf” philosophy, according to which 80% of the employees is deaf or hard of hearing, is the company’s signature characteristic.
The team addresses the issues and limitations that deaf tourists have when traveling, catering to their psyche and demands.
The firm, situated in Dubai, provides excursions on which all material is presented in sign language.
Benny Ngo, who visited the UAE, shared his experience to Gulf News, saying, “Deaf people face barriers throughout their lives, even in the simplest everyday matters. We are hopeful that the travel industry will progressively offer inclusive solutions, leveraging technologies and access to create opportunities for an enriching travel experience for the deaf community.”
“We are creating a truly unique offering considering the specific needs of our tourists,” Gulf News quoted Vitalii Mykhalchuk, CEO of AMSAAN, as saying.
“Since 2020, we have been developing the IT solutions of the Amsaan ecosystem in the UAE market, and the success of our tourism programs and flow will depend directly on productive cooperation with businesses and government departments. Increased awareness of the issues faced by deaf individuals in society and the realisation that deaf people want and can travel represent significant steps toward inclusivity.”
Following are the Amsaan Accessible Tours offers:
Deaf guides for group tours: Tours providing deaf tourists opportunities to connect and explore in a supportive environment.
On-demand sign language Interpreters: 24/7 access to interpreters for effective communication and prompt issue resolution during the trip.
Dedicated mobile application: Convenient access to tickets, itineraries, and local tips with an intuitive mobile application.
