  1. Yorkshire Attractions SurveyVisitsunlimited Survey of 50 attraction based in the region. Research conducted to gauge opinions of attractions on the issue of ‘access’ for disabled children and their families.

  2. Do you attract families with disabled children? Question. What % of the total number of visitors would you suggest are disabled children? Responses from 1% to 10%with many not aware of footfall to their attraction.

  3. Question. Have you received training in understanding the visitor experience for families with disabled children?

  4. Question. Do you currently have any marketing in place to attract families with disabled children? Marketing to disabled children brings increased footfall from family members, personal assistants and wider family and friends, increasing footfall and spend.

  5. Challenges • 50% stated physical barriers hindered attracting disabled visitors • No attractions stated there were staffing challenges in meeting the needs of disabled visitors • 25% stated there were budgetary restrictions in developing their offer for families with disabled children • 56% stated they had budget for business development • 75% stated they had budget for staff development

  6. Attraction Aspirations • All attractions responded stating they wished for increased footfall • All respondents appreciated the benefit of marketing their attraction as disabled family friendly • 88% stated they wished to maximise additional marketing opportunities • 75% wished for further advice and training in improving their offer for families with disabled children • 69% wished to improve skill set in improving the visitor experience for disabled visitors – higher on the priority list of families with disabled children than physical access provision.

  7. Conclusions from Research • All attractions want to increase footfall and revenue • All appreciated the benefit of marketing to families with disabled children • There is a misconception that access is predominantly related to physical access around a venue with less emphasis on appropriate information and staff training • Most venues desired more skills and opportunities to serve this market, including support with marketing their attraction • Budget restriction was an adverse factor but in only a minority of cases • Individual site managers of the large heritage organisationsare concerned over the restrictions in marketing the unique aspects of their attraction because of central control of marketing services including website management
