Accessible Tour Company Launches… | Connecting Travel
Deaf and hard-of-hearing travelers now have a new option for guided tours with the launch of ‘Travel with Bova’ by Amsaan Accessible Tours (AAT). This groundbreaking service offers tours conducted entirely in sign language, providing an inclusive tourism experience for those who communicate in this way. Led by the experienced senior deaf tour guide Volodymyr Bozhko, known as Bova, these tours are set to revolutionize the travel industry in the UAE, a key destination for AAT.
With over 15 years of experience, Bova brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the ‘Travel with Bova’ tours. He has led tourists from around the world on extended trips to various European and Southeast Asian countries, using International Sign Language to communicate with visitors from diverse backgrounds. The launch of these sign language tours marks a significant milestone in inclusive tourism in the region, with more than 60 tours already planned for 2024.
As part of the AAT programme, ‘Travel with Bova’ will not only focus on Dubai but also expand to offer guided tours in other destinations. CEO of Amsaan Accessible Tours, Alex Koltsov, expressed the company’s commitment to serving the needs of the 430 million individuals worldwide who have hearing loss. He stated, “Catering to the more than 430 million people who have hearing loss, ‘Travel with Bova’ will set new standards in accessible tourism. Last year, more than 170 tourists joined our tours in Dubai, and we already have 66 scheduled for upcoming tours in the city. This project underscores our dedication to inclusivity and cultural exchange, and we believe it will create lasting impacts in the travel industry.”
In response to growing tourist demand, AAT plans to expand its tour offerings to include additional sign languages and destinations. The company is also working on creating tours tailored to individuals with other disabilities, further enhancing their commitment to accessible tourism. By continuously adapting their services to meet the diverse needs of travelers, AAT aims to become a leader in inclusive tourism globally.
