Today, SEASPAR recognizes Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) πŸŒπŸ’š

Observed annually on the third Thursday of May, GAAD encourages people around the world to think, learn, and talk about digital accessibility and inclusion for the more than 1.3 billion people living with disabilities.

Digital accessibility means creating websites, apps, software, and online spaces that can be accessed and used by people of all abilities. From readable content and keyboard navigation to captions, screen reader compatibility, and thoughtful design, accessibility helps ensure everyone can fully participate in the digital world.

At SEASPAR, we believe inclusion extends beyond physical spaces β€” it also means building accessible digital experiences that are perceivable, operable, understandable, and welcoming to all.

Accessibility matters everywhere πŸ’š

Tulips, friendship, and unforgettable memories πŸŒ·πŸ’š

Our SEASPAR travelers spent an incredible weekend exploring Holland, Michigan during the Tulip Festival! From colorful gardens and Dutch dancing to shopping, museums, delicious meals, and beautiful views of Lake Michigan, every day was filled with new experiences and meaningful moments together.

Participants explored the Tulip Immersion Garden, visited Windmill Island Gardens, enjoyed local art, climbed to the top of a windmill, and even ended evenings with games and laughter back at the hotel 🎨🌷🌊

Trips like these are about more than travel β€” they create connection, independence, friendship, and memories that last long after the weekend ends ✨
