While strengthening its commitment to inclusive hospitality
and in honor of Autism Acceptance Month, Margaritaville has achieved Autism
Double-Checked status in a growing number of its Margaritaville
Hotels & Resorts, Camp Margaritaville Resorts and Compass Hotels.
The initiative marks a significant step in Margaritaville’s
mission and ongoing effort to create hospitality experiences in places of paradise
where everyone feels welcome.
Each certified property completed a two-part training
program developed by Autism Double-Checked, equipping its team members with the
skills to better assist guests traveling with loved ones on the spectrum.
Additionally, participating properties now offer a
comprehensive Visitor Guide on the Autism Double-Checked website, providing
sensory-friendly information, safety measures and planning resources for a
seamless stay.
"Creating a welcoming, laid-back escape for all is at
the heart of everything we do," said Adam Bocken, Vice President of
Training and Development at Margaritaville. "As we honor Autism Acceptance
Month, we’re proud to deepen our commitment to accessibility and understanding
for neurodiverse travelers. But this initiative goes far beyond April – it’s
about making a lasting impact year-round.”
The Autism Double-Checked program empowers hospitality
brands to better serve the autism community through education, awareness and
empathy-driven service. For Margaritaville, the initiative reflects a
brand-wide commitment to removing barriers, celebrating differences and
ensuring that guests from all walks of life feel at home in paradise.
With properties coast to coast and growing, Margaritaville
remains dedicated to fostering acceptance, understanding, and support for those
on the autism spectrum.
