Description of services and accessibility measures

We specialise in small group adventures that connect travellers with local cultures and experiences across the globe. To support accessibility across our desktop and mobile websites as well as applications when our travellers are discovering, searching, booking and managing their trips, we have implemented the following measures:

  • Keyboard accessibility: Our website can be operated using a keyboard.
  • Clear and intuitive design: Our interface features straightforward language and minimizes unnecessary complexity.
  • Descriptive text content: Comprehensive written information is provided in clear, easy-to-understand language.
  • Screen reader support: Our website is compatible with widely used screen readers.
  • Use of ARIA standards: ARIA roles and attributes are properly implemented to enhance accessibility.
  • Visual accessibility options: The interface supports adjustable contrast and text scaling to assist users with visual impairments.
  • Consistent navigation: Pages follow logical structures with consistent headings, landmarks, and menus for easier navigation.
  • Error feedback: Users receive clear, descriptive error messages to help identify and resolve issues.

Ongoing efforts to maintain accessibility

To ensure continued compliance and improvement, we:

  • Test: We conduct regular and consistent testing of designs and technical implementations to ensure compliance with WCAG AA standards.
  • Develop: Our design system includes an "accessibility view" mode that allows us to visually check how components appear for users with different visual needs.
  • Champion: Accessibility champions across the organisation advocate for and uphold accessibility standards in every stage of our work.
  • Quality Assurance: Automated accessibility tests are run regularly, and fixes deployed.

Conformance status

Our website and digital services aim to conform to:

  • WCAG 2.1 Level AA
  • EN 301 549 (EU harmonized standard for ICT accessibility)
