Advancing Accessible Travel with Hilton and Be My Eyes

Despite challenges like “access washing,” progress is evident with initiatives like TUI’s detailed access guides and Limitless Travel’s tailored experiences. Be My Eyes is proud to contribute through its partnership with Hilton, through which blind and low-vision guests can access live assistance or AI-powered support for a seamless stay. While the journey toward full accessibility continues, meaningful strides are being made.

What people are saying

"With this tool and application, I am able to perform everyday tasks that could previously be challenging, such as identifying clothing colors, reading documents and recognizing notes. In addition, having the ability to select and read texts specific options and accessing photo descriptions is really fantastic! This new experience is opening doors that is bringing a new perspective and freedom to me and everyone, and greater autonomy and independence!”

Diego, Be My Eyes user

“I love “Be My Eyes, especially the Be My AI section because it’s indescribable how good it makes me feel to see photos of my friends and family, relive memories, take photos of clothing to see exactly what it’s like, take photos of store windows, computer screens… everything. I hope It’s the best app I have, the one I use the most, and without it, I couldn’t live now.”
