Sign language support, screen readers, customizable text and colors, and multilingual translation are among the tools designed to improve access to information and services through the Ministry of Tourism’s website.

Riyadh – Saudi Arabia – Al-Rehla

Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Tourism provides a range of digital accessibility features to help people with disabilities and senior citizens access tourism-related information and services through its official website.

The features cover seven main categories of assistive tools, reflecting efforts to make digital services more accessible to users with different needs.

These include sign language support, screen readers for blind and visually impaired users, text enlargement, adjustable colors and contrast, reading assistance for people with dyslexia, tools for users with mobility impairments, and multilingual translation options.

Digital Tools Adapted to Individual Needs

According to information published on the Ministry’s official website, the accessibility features allow users to customize how online content is displayed, including adjusting spacing between letters, words, and lines, highlighting links, modifying text alignment, and disabling animations.

The platform also offers accessibility profiles designed to accommodate users with visual or motor impairments, as well as reading and learning difficulties, allowing individuals to adapt their browsing experience to their specific requirements.

Additional features include sign language assistance and navigation options that improve access to website content across different devices, including smartphones, tablets, and computers.

Users can also submit accessibility-related feedback and inquiries through the Ministry’s unified tourism contact center at 930 and its official digital communication channels.

Al-Rehla Perspective | Accessible Tourism Begins with Accessible Information

Accessible tourism extends beyond adapted hotels, airports, and transportation services. It also begins with travelers’ ability to independently obtain information, understand procedures, and navigate digital platforms.

The Ministry’s accessibility features provide practical tools that can help people with disabilities and older travelers access information and services available through its website.

However, the availability of digital accessibility tools does not necessarily mean that all hotels, attractions, and tourism facilities across Saudi Arabia are fully equipped to accommodate different disabilities.
Physical accessibility remains a separate consideration that travelers should verify with individual service providers before making travel arrangements.
