Downtown Corvallis The Willamette Valley is a bustling region that brings together outdoor recreation, cultural institutions, a world-class wine scene, countless culinary delights—and a growing number of attractions that are accessible to travelers with disabilities. Oregon is the first state to achieve the “Accessibility Verified” designation from Wheel the World, a global platform for planning and booking accessible travel. Over 750 businesses in Oregon, including hotels, attractions, and experiences, were assessed to gather real data about accessibility features—information that is now available for you to make informed decisions based on your own individual needs. The Willamette Valley communities of Albany, Corvallis, Eugene, McMinnville, Newberg, and Salem have detailed accessibility information on a number of assessed businesses. What does this mean for your next trip? • Easier planning: Plan a trip that puts your needs front and center—with listings for dozens of restaurants, attractions, and hotels that break down specific accessibility-minded o erings. • Specific information: Wheel the World measures and shares the specifics of what you’ll encounter at a number of assessed businesses within these communities. This includes the width of a hotel’s roll-in shower, what kind of turning space you may have in a bathroom, the width and depth of elevators, and whether building entries are step-free. • Easy-to-find listings: Information about the assessed attractions in the Willamette Valley and their accessibility features can be found at willamettevalley.org/accessible-travel.
