Rainforests. Wildlife. Beaches. Adventure.

Accessible? Yes — because we built it together.

In this powerful and energizing session, Stephanie Sheehy shares how Costa Rica became a destination where travelers with disabilities experience jungle trails, wildlife safaris, and accessible beaches with dignity and autonomy.

This transformation didn’t happen through theory alone. It happened by listening — working side by side with people with disabilities, rethinking hotels and tours, introducing internationally-adapted vehicles, and putting sustainability and lived experience at the center. Because accessibility is not charity. It’s collaboration. It’s innovation. And it’s the right way forward.
