Accessibility Commitment
At the Klondike Visitors Association, we are dedicated to making the Klondike Region an accessible and inclusive tourism destination where everyone can fully participate and enjoy their experience.
Creating a truly accessible destination is a shared effort—one that involves community members, businesses, and public institutions working together. Dawson City’s business operators recognize the importance of accessibility, not only for locals but also for the thousands of visitors who arrive each year. A more accessible community benefits everyone, enhancing both everyday life and the visitor experience.
Dawson City is known for its rich history and heritage buildings, which are central to the town’s unique charm. However, adapting these historic structures to meet modern accessibility standards presents unique challenges. Many businesses and attractions are actively working to balance preservation with improved accessibility, ensuring that more visitors can experience Dawson’s history without barriers.
We welcome a diverse range of travelers, including those with mobility needs, visual or hearing requirements, or varying cognitive and sensory abilities. By fostering inclusive experiences, we ensure that all visitors—whether individuals, families, or friends traveling together—can explore, connect, and create lasting memories in Dawson City.
