Instead of watching the performance with closed captioning, they had to read along in the dark. The venue called this "accessibility."

This isn't an isolated incident. It's systemic.
Hotels claim visual fire alarms they don't have. Cruise lines ignore ADA compliance. Venues charge Deaf travelers extra for basic accommodation. The travel industry says "accessible" — but what they deliver is often degrading, expensive, or outright false.

Plus: We optimize your multi-city routes so you spend less time traveling and more time experiencing.
I'm Charles, and I'm not Deaf — but I'm committed to building WITH the Deaf community, not FOR them.
After hearing story after story of false accessibility promises, I traveled to the Philippines to verify hotels myself. What I found: Hotels have grab bars for elderly guests, but no visual fire alarms for Deaf guests. They call themselves "accessible" — but only for some disabilities.
