Lakeshore Consulting Unveils Inclusive Sports Tourism Blueprint

Lakeshore Consulting Services, in collaboration with All in Sport Consulting, has released a comprehensive plan for municipalities and organizations that aim to make sporting events more inclusive for people with disabilities.

The plan, entitled “Blueprint for Hosting Disability Inclusive Sporting Events,” seeks to address accessibility challenges in sports tourism — one of the fastest growing segments of tourism.

As part of its work, Lakeshore Consulting Services aims to help organizations design inclusive experiences where people with disabilities can participate fully and confidently.

“By equipping venues, event sponsors, and even convention and visitor bureaus with the proper training and technical assistance, we can expand tourism while creating more inclusive and accessible opportunities for people with disabilities to participate as athletes, spectators and travelers,” said Amy Rauworth, chief research and innovation officer at Lakeshore. “By partnering with All In Sport to produce this blueprint, we are able to offer top-notch expertise in adapted sports, accessibility training and strategies that remove barriers and ensure meaningful engagement for all.”
