Happy Deaf Awareness Month! Help spread the word by sharing this video, highlighting the importance of prioritizing deaf accessibility in hotels. 🧏‍♀️

Deaf accessibility in hotels is vital, starting with visual doorbell alerts and fire alarms with flashing lights for emergencies. 🚨 Since individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing rely solely on visual cues, these safety features are crucial for our well-being. I commend @wamonarchbeach for setting an exemplary standard with their Deaf-friendly hotel, where we felt genuinely safe and comfortable. We urge all hotels to make these measures a standard practice, prioritizing the safety and inclusion of deaf guests. 🏨

Learning basic sign language also reflects a thoughtful commitment to creating a welcoming environment, making deaf guests feel truly valued and respected. ❤️

Transcript:
Is someone ringing the doorbell?
Let me check.
Thanks for bringing our bags!
Without the flashing lights, we might have missed the doorbell alert. That’s why accessibility is so important!
Hotels must prioritize accessibility for the deaf community by including essential features such as visual doorbell alerts and fire alarms with flashing lights. These accommodations ensure equal access, creating a safe and inclusive environment for all guests.

Video Description:
A white man carries red and black, and pink luggages down a hotel hallway and rings the doorbell. Inside the hotel room, an Asian woman with long black hair, wearing a green patterned midi dress, notices the visual alert, gets up from the bed, and opens the door. The man brings the luggage inside, highlighting the visual doorbell alert and fire alarm system.
