Visit Binghamton launches site highlighting accessible amenities

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. — Visit Binghamton’s new Accessible Bing website provides an inclusive tourism experience by promoting accessible community amenities.

“Visit Binghamton recognized the need for a comprehensive accessibility guide to the area and worked with our attractions, restaurants, and hotels to provide it,” McKenna Brown, project manager, said in a release. “We have a very accessible community, and we hope this guide allows visitors and locals to take advantage of that. We are excited to welcome visitors of all abilities into Broome County.”

The site guides visitors to accessible amenities in Binghamton and surrounding communities including restaurants, breweries, attractions, and accommodations. Each page provides visitors a complete listing of accessible businesses in food and beverage, things to do, and accommodation categories.

“When people visit our community, we want them to know that there is something for everyone to do, regardless of age or ability,” Broome County Executive Jason Garner said.

The www.visitbinghamton.org/accessible website provides important accessibility information as Broome County works to be an accessible destination for both residents and visitors, Broome County Legislature Chairman and Fifth District Legislator Dan J. Reynolds said.

“The creation of Accessible Bing is an incredible addition to our resources, and we hope the guide serves to make visitors of all abilities feel comfortable and excited to plan their next trip to visit greater Binghamton,” Leadership Alliance CEO Stacey Duncan said. It aligns with the organization’s strategic efforts to embrace diversity, equity, and inclusion.
