Frequently asked questions

Why is it important to share accessibility information?

Not every location is 100% accessible. To plan their visits effectively, people with disabilities, families with strollers, and seniors rely on finding detailed information about the accessibility of a hotel, medical practice, or administrative building in advance. The more websites, apps, web maps, and data platforms that share the information collected with Ginto, the easier it is for people to find what they need.
