Updates to the sports resort include a variety of features designed to help [people with disabilities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/active-project) live, play and navigate comfortably around the premises. Guide lighting around the entirety of the resort and tactile maps allow guests with [visual impairment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-accessibility-travel-guide) to find their way. 24 newly built [holiday homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accessibility-guide) have mechanized lifts for access, as well as automatic curtains, doors and windows and beds that can be raised, lowered or propped up at the headboard with the touch of a button. The athletic facilities are located in the center of the sports resort, and are accessed by a ramp that wraps around the entire height of the building, stopping at each floor and eventually leading to the rooftop terrace. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Hip Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/hiphotels) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Disability-friendly Hotels:** Hotels equipped with features for the differently-abled offer new opportunities for targeted services. - **Accessible Holiday Homes:** Building homes that cater to the differing needs of people with disabilities creates new markets for inclusive construction and interior design. - **Adaptive Furniture Design:** Designing furniture that is customizable to varying needs offers new niches for companies to serve the differently-abled population. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can cater to the differently-abled population with features like mechanized lifts, automatic curtains, doors, and windows. - **Construction:** The construction industry can design and build disability-friendly holiday homes, offices, and other buildings. - **Furniture:** The furniture industry can offer customizable, adaptable furniture for people with varying needs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Accessibility-Focused Hospitality Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-groove-shinjuku.md) - [Accessibility-Focused Hospitality Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marsham-court-hotel.md) - [Accessible Sports Venue Plans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la28-paralympic-games.md) - [Comprehensive Accessibility Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accessibility-hub.md) - [Inclusive Tourism-Focused Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wheel-the-world.md) - [Adaptable Outdoor Adventures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adaptive-sports-center.md) - [Accessibility-Focused Hospitality Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reservation-platform.md) - [Accessibility-Focused Outdoor Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accessible-adirondack-tourism.md) - [Accessible Travel Agencies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accessible-travel-agency.md)
