MyGardenRouteInfo.com Tackles Accessibility Issues at Local Businesses

PORT ELIZABETH, South Africa, September 13, 2010 - MyGardenRouteInfo.com has recently identified serious accessibility
issues at restaurants, accommodation and tourist attractions along the Garden
Route and throughout the Eastern Cape and has endeavoured to offer a
comprehensive resource for tourists with mobility and accessibility issues.

According to Steve Chester, managing director of MyGardenRouteInfo.com,
improving accessibility to establishments along the Garden Route
(gardenroute.mydestinationinfo.com/) requires a small investment, and
is a business decision that can open a new and loyal market which he believes
is currently under-catered for in the local market.

"Recent experiences with my own family have made me realize how little
effort is put into making businesses accessible to people with mobility
issues," said Chester.

As such, MyGardenRouteInfo.com is encouraging companies that have
wheelchair-friendly facilities to contact MyGardenRouteInfo via their
website, for more info on adding an organisation to the website's growing
list of establishments.

MyGardenRouteInfo.com now offers significant exposure to those companies
who comply with their accessibility standards via their accessible travel
page. They also offer details of wheelchair friendly accommodation in Garden
Route (
gardenroute.mydestinationinfo.com/en/wheelchair-facilities-accommodation-in-garden-route)
and wheelchair friendly restaurants in the Garden Route
(gardenroute.mydestinationinfo.com/en/wheelchair-friendly-restaurants-in-garden-route).

At the same time, Chester believes that accessibility considerations
should not be restricted to people in wheelchairs or shop riders, but also
consider people with visual and hearing impairments, senior citizens whose
balance and agility is not what it used to be, people requiring oxygen and
people with walking aids such as canes and walking frames.

Chester added: "In Europe a lot of companies have realised that catering
for this potentially lucrative market can have a very positive effect on
their bottom line, thus creating a win-win situation for both local
businesses and their clients."
