What is the Tourist Accommodation Hospitality Kit?
The Tourist Accommodation Hospitality Kit is for people who are deaf or hard of hearing using standard accommodation within Bass Coast. It is also for accommodation providers who want to improve access for their client base.
The kit can increase the comfort and safety of people who are deaf or hard of hearing when hiring standard accommodation by providing them with a range of hearing resources that can be borrowed on an overnight or weekly basis.
The Tourist Accommodation Hospitality Kit is a project of the RuralAccess program.
