This document discusses barriers faced by deaf and hard of hearing persons when traveling. It identifies issues with embassies, air travel, transportation, lodging, and food that do not accommodate disabilities. The author urges industries like airlines, hotels, transportation, and food to improve accessibility by providing visual flight safety instructions, accessible emergency systems in lodging, signing at food establishments, and more considerate policies for the deaf at embassies. The overall message is that the travel industry needs to better serve deaf customers through accessible communication and services.
