TIP: A STRATEGIC REVENUE-GENERATING PROGRAM
TIP isn’t just the right thing to do; it’s also a smart business move.
As of 2024, the special needs and autism community represents a $76 billion travel segment (expected to reach $135 billion by 2032)* that’s loyal to brands that “get it.” Families impacted by special needs and autism actively seek destinations that prioritize accessibility, sensory-friendly accommodations, and clear communication, and they reward those destinations with their trust, loyalty, and spending power.
TIP gives your business the edge to reach this highly engaged, yet often overlooked, audience.
*Source: The global Accessible Travel Market (encompassing travelers with mobility, sensory, cognitive (including autism), and other special needs) was valued at $76 Billion in 2024 and is projected to expand at a compounding annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8% during the forecast period, reaching a value of USD 135 Billion by 2032.
