TRIVIA TIME (NO GOOGLING!)
Which major world landmark became one of the first UNESCO World Heritage Sites to install a permanent wheelchair-accessible route all the way to its main viewing platform — making it possible for visitors with mobility impairments to enjoy the same iconic panorama as everyone else?

So, it’s a natural site? Or historic?

@joshgrisdale who could possibly say? Could be either. All I’ll tell you is that it was the first!

Parthenon is one, for sure!

That’s such an inspiring example of accessibility in action. Creating routes that allow everyone — regardless of mobility — to experience world landmarks equally shows real progress in inclusive tourism. I believe sites like Machu Picchu and the Acropolis have taken steps toward improved access, but only a few have achieved full wheelchair accessibility to main viewing areas. It’s a reminder that thoughtful design benefits everyone. I came across San Diego Limo Service https://www.limoserviceinsandiego.com/san-diego-ca/ and their focus on accessible transport made me think how inclusivity applies across all forms of travel. Do you think more heritage sites will follow this example soon, or are there still major barriers in implementing such infrastructure worldwide?

When will we get an answer?
