Dubai-based Amsaan Accessible Tours rethinks tourism for deaf tourists in the UAE

Benny Ngo, who visited the UAE, shared his experience, 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,” said Vitalii Mykhalchuk, CEO of AMSAAN. “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."
