Tourism ALL-a-Bama

Tourism ALL-a-Bama is a statewide training and implementation program designed to create lasting change in Alabama tourism through connecting hospitality partners with the advocacy community and Alabama families who are not currently being served in an autism-friendly manner. The long-term goals of this project will be to equip families with tools to prepare for and enjoy travel and to position Alabama as an autism-friendly travel destination.
