The tourism industry, specifically hotels, has a responsibility to provide accessible and inclusive services for all guests, including those who are deaf or hard-of-hearing. By integrating innovative solutions like Evenly's instant video call feature, hotel owners can ensure seamless communication between deaf guests and hotel staff through sign language interpreters.

Providing a comfortable stay for every guest is paramount, especially in today's competitive hospitality landscape. Offering an accessible and inclusive environment can make a lasting impression on guests, encouraging them to become repeat customers and spread positive word-of-mouth. For deaf and hard-of-hearing guests, having a communication tool like Evenly available at the front desk can be the key to creating an unforgettable experience.
