North Carolina's Accessible Destinations

From the Watauga Democrat:

N.C. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Al Delia has announced the release of the sixth edition of "ACCESS North Carolina," a publication that provides details on the accessibility of tourist sites across North Carolina.

The latest edition, available in time for summer travelers, provides accessibility notes for hundreds of sites.

"It is encouraging to see that more and more site operators realize the value of providing access to our citizens with disabilities," Delia said. "From seashore aquariums to the Mile High Bridge at Grandfather Mountain, our state has a lot to offer, and we want all of our citizens to have the opportunity to enjoy it."

The sixth edition of "ACCESS North Carolina: A Vacation and Travel Guide for People with Disabilities" is available online and at visitor centers in some of the state's most visited cities.
