Explore Siouxland reached its status as a ‘Destination Verified” location through Wheel the World, a global leader in accessible travel. The not-for-profit organization promotes tourism, economic development, and community engagement throughout the region of Siouxland.
Kristen Heimgartner, Director of Sales and Services for Explore Siouxland, says the organization is excited to take the step forward, making Siouxland more inclusive for everyone.
“Accessibility should never be a barrier to exploration, and this partnership helps ensure our community is more welcoming, informed, and ready to serve all visitors,” said Heimgartner.
According to Explore Siouxland, this status spans multiple communities such as Sioux City, North Sioux City, Dakota Dunes, Sergeant Bluff, and South Sioux City.
Thirty regional partners, such as hotels, attractions, and restaurants, played a part in the initiative and completed the Wheel the World’s Accessibility Verified Program. The efforts of these partners helped provide listings that are now available on Wheel the World’s website.
The Wheel the World’s verification program includes detailed, on-site assessments that provide transparent information on entrances, restrooms, paths of travel, and other accommodations. Explore Siouxland says this helps travelers who have mobility, hearing, or vision impairments find places to fit their needs.
