Accessibility Tip: Use Alt Text or add image descriptions on social media posts.

The images you choose for your social media posts, or on your website, are an important part of your content. For people who are blind or have low vision, a descriptive caption will add to their experience and better explain your message.

Websites and now most social platforms will allow you to add this information into the Alt Text field attached to the image. This text will then be read by screen readers and users can access it easily.

If your software doesn’t let you add alt text to images then simply put a description of the image into the body text of the post to make it clearer to everyone.

70% of people with accessibility needs would travel more if they could be confident a tourism property was suitable for them.

More often than not, tourism websites, photos on a listing, Google Maps and reviews just don't provide the crucial information needed to confidently book. So you move onto the next place...
