Scott Rains

A proposal by Scott Rains to create three Centers of Excellence in Inclusive Tourism in strategic locations around the world was accepted by the Echoing Green Foundation for the second of three rounds of the 2008 competition. Each Center of Excellence will participate in international work to: * Standardize the diversity of accessibility laws, * Disseminate minimum accessibility guidelines for hotels, * Train travel & hospitality industry staff, * Promote the education & hiring of People with disabilities (PwDs) in the industry. At the local level centers will work to make themselves accessible destinations and establish a core of PwDs to be self-sustaining as advocates & experts in Inclusive Tourism for their region.
