ADA Compliance for Hotels - Travel TripperNancy Huang
As it stands today, all hotel websites in the United States, Canada, EU and many other countries are required to comply with the WCAG AA-level standard of website accessibility for people with disabilities. Failing to do so can invite the risk of a lawsuit, particularly in the U.S. where the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is concerned.
In this webinar, our digital agency team will discuss the requirements for web accessibility compliance and how hotels can ensure they meet the standards. Topics include:
The history of the ADA and website accessibility regulations
The most recent WCAG AA-level standards
A hotelier's action plan to achieve web accessibility compliance
Common grievances in ADA compliance lawsuits and how to remediate them
The importance of audits and ongoing monitoring
We will also be previewing Travel Tripper's new ADA Web Monitoring Platform, a new tool that automates web accessibility audits and alerts hotels when websites are out of compliance. Visit www.traveltripper.com/ada to learn more about our ADA Compliance services.

WASHINGTON, D.C., November 11, 2014—Today the Equal Rights Center (ERC)—a national non-profit civil rights organization—released a new toolkit to help veterans with disabilities advocate for accessible housing.
“Every year, hundreds of thousands of veterans return home to new challenges and barriers due to physical and mental disabilities resulting from their service to and for our country,” said Melvina Ford, executive director of the ERC. “Under the federal Fair Housing Act, these veterans are entitled to accessible housing and beyond that our gratitude and respect.”
According to government sources, 45 percent of the 1.6 million veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are now seeking compensation for service-related disabilities, more than double the estimate of 21 percent who filed such claims after the Gulf War.
The lack of available accessible housing for these veterans with disabilities contributes to higher rates of unemployment and homelessness. Approximately 12 percent of the homeless population is made up of veterans, which in real numbers amounts to almost 50,000 homeless veterans on our streets.
“Our veterans—particularly those who return home with service-related disabilities—deserve equal treatment and opportunity in all aspects of their new lives,” said James Schenck, president and CEO of Pentagon Federal Credit Union (PenFed). “It is imperative that we ensure that veterans with disabilities have the resources and education to be effective advocates for themselves and their families.”
The Veterans with Disabilities Toolkit highlights the rights to accessible housing afforded to veterans with disabilities under Title XIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, known as the Fair Housing Act (FHA). This toolkit provides: an overview of the rights provided by the federal FHA, information on accessible design requirements of multifamily development, how to request a reasonable modification or accommodation from property owners or managers and answers to frequently asked questions.
The tagline, as a whole, communicates the idea that 508 Remediation Services are a key to unlocking the full potential of digital content, making it accessible to everyone and fostering inclusivity.
https://www.acadecraft.com/accessibility/508-compliance-service/
In 2018, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) will roll out official compliance guidelines concerning online accessibility as part of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). But, there’s no time to lose in ensuring your website is compliant. SilverTech’s General Counsel, Paul Creme, and Engineering & UX Manager, Andrew Eddy, review the steps your organization needs to take to anticipate ADA compliance guidelines and avoid costly litigation.
Good content or "storytelling" is effective in building trust and loyalty with your customers, partners, employees, and stakeholders.
The most memorable brands do it; they tell great stories and produce amazing content in an effort to build trust and loyalty with customers, partners, employees, and stakeholders. Patagonia produces movies. Airbnb has built an entire series around guest stories. Starbucks produced a six-part feature on Amazon Video, telling stories of fútbol or soccer.
Topics discussed in this article include the benefits of content marketing, the ROI of content marketing, how to get started, and how to check for quality content prior to publishing.
In 2013, as the city of Medellín pushed to become a center of innovation, they sought guidance to improve their sustainability goals — as the two are inter-connected, including sustainabilty impact areas and measurement, including: mainstreaming the environment and public awareness, green finance, climate change adaption, water, waste, transportation, and energy.

What’s Your Sustainability Story? The 10-step CSR formula
The world’s most sustainable companies are the most profitable; and they make environmental and social responsibly a priority.
Lyft is looking to sustainability as a market differentiator away from Uber
Nike turns to sustainability to drive innovation
Unilever’s sustainable brands grow 50% faster than the rest of the business
In May 2018, WeWork hired their first Head of Sustainabilty
Differentiate your startup or business by incorporating a well-told sustainability story. By doing so, get the attention of investors, gain PR, attract the best employees, and position yourself for the future.
Sustainability Marketing: a case study.
Patagonia is a leader in CSR and telling amazing stories that align mission with product. In doing so, the company has built a tribe of loyal customers and fellow activists, translating into 14% year over year growth.
This presentation is a case study on putting the 10 sure fire steps to telling great sustainability stories.
Do buyers prioritize energy efficiency in their buying decisions? The answer is no. In light of this, these are the steps taken to improve buyer awareness when it comes to energy efficiency or zero energy.
The most successful green projects are those that share the successful design strategies implemented, and are embraced by the community as an instrument for education and a source of inspiration for other building professionals.
This is the case for Gordon Estates; the most highly rated and certified green subdivision in the U.S., and recently the site of the G Street education series ‘Green Home 101’. Kudos to the teams at the City of Phoenix and Mandalay Communities for completing this first of its kind project and sharing a successful roadmap for others to follow.
About G Street education: G Street was contracted by the Municipality and the Builder to create and present CEU approved curriculum that shared the project’s sustainable design strategies, and to increase local and national awareness. When sustainable design is done right it includes education, allowing the project to reach its climax.

Investing In The US As A Canadian… And How To Do It RIGHT!! (feat. Erwin Szet...Volition Properties
=== Investing In The US As A Canadian… And How To Do It RIGHT!! (feat. Erwin Szeto) ===
Ever been curious about Real Estate Investing in the US?? At Volition, for the past 14 years, we have been focused on helping investors invest in over $250M of real estate and generate $100M of wealth in the Toronto market, but we are always open to learning more about other business models and learning from other investors.
The US has always been an intriguing market to invest in. But the US is a big place… if you’re interested in investing in the US, you probably have a lot of questions, like:
☑️ Specifically WHERE should you invest?
☑️ What are the best markets to invest in and why?
☑️ How much are property prices there?
☑️ What are the returns like?
☑️ What is cashflow like?
☑️ Compared to investing in Toronto or other cities in Ontario, what are the benefits / tradeoffs?
☑️ What ownership structure should I use?
☑️ What are the tax implications?
☑️ Can I get financing?
☑️ What are tenants like?
Enter Erwin Szeto, a longtime friend of Volition. Since 2005, Erwin Szeto and his team have navigated the challenging landscape of being landlords in Ontario. Now, they are shifting their focus and guiding their clients' investments toward the more landlord-friendly environment of the USA. This decision comes after assisting Canadian clients in transacting over $440,000,000 in income properties. Faced with issues like affordability constraints, tenant-friendly laws, rent control, and rental licensing in Canada, Erwin sees a clear opportunity in the U.S. Here, there is a significant influx of investments leading to the creation of high-paying manufacturing jobs. Erwin and his clients are poised to capitalize on these opportunities where landlord rights are stronger and there is no rent control.
To facilitate this transition, Erwin has partnered with and become a client of SHARE, a one-stop-shop U.S. Asset Manager. Founded by Canadians for Canadians, SHARE enables as passive an ownership experience as possible for landlords in the U.S., while still maintaining direct, 100% ownership.
