Seed Round in 2021
Wheel the World is an online travel agency for travelers with disabilities and seniors to travel the world. By digitizing the accessibility information to the cloud and a specialized user experience, our company allows users to book hotels and tours that match their accessibility needs. Through www.wheeltheworld.com, people with disabilities and seniors can find and book places to stay, things to do, and multi-day trips worldwide. Users build their profiles online, stating what their specific accessibility needs are when traveling, and our recommendation system matches what travel listings satisfy their requirements for them to book them online. We created the Accessibility Mapping System (AMS), a crowdsourced software application to raise accessibility tourism service data from travel operators worldwide (Hotels & Tour Operators). We collect more than +250 Data Points per listing with all the relevant information that users with disabilities need before making a booking decision.
