Amman, Dec 2 (Petra) – Orange Jordan held an idea-presentation session for participants in the “Hackathon for Digital Solutions to Enhance Accessible Tourism for Persons with Disabilities.”

The hackathon serves as a leading platform that enables university students to develop innovative solutions that support the empowerment of Persons with Disabilities and enhance accessible tourism experiences for all.

The seven selected teams presented their proposals to a specialized judging panel, following their participation in an intensive training camp that focused on key areas, including the inclusion of Persons with Disabilities, accessible tourism, assistive technologies, and presentation skills.

The participants showcased innovative digital solutions aimed at advancing the tourism sector by enhancing accessibility and making services available to everyone without exception.

The teams presented innovative projects leveraging the latest technologies to promote the inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in the tourism sector. The solutions ranged from smart applications for the Deaf and hard of hearing, devices for individuals with visual impairments and safe mobility, digital platforms for trip planning, and interactive museum experiences using screens, sign language, and tactile models to solutions enhancing visual perception and cultural exhibition experience.

“The hackathon was not merely a competitive event but a genuine platform to create a positive societal impact, where innovation meets responsibility and ethics to build a more inclusive future for all,” Orange Jordan said Tuesday in a statement.
