Accessibility Statement

Shekinah Travel Lifestyle is committed to providing a digital experience that is accessible, inclusive, and usable for the widest possible audience, including people with disabilities.

We believe every visitor should be able to access information about our travel services, faith-led experiences, luxury holidays, retreats, and travel planning support with ease.

Accessibility is an ongoing effort, and we aim to continually improve the user experience by applying relevant accessibility guidelines and best practices.

Accessibility Standards We Aim to Follow

Our goal is to work towards conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with a wide range of needs, including:

  • Visual impairments

  • Hearing impairments

  • Motor difficulties

  • Cognitive limitations

While we work towards full WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, some parts of the website may not yet meet all standards. Where issues are identified, we aim to address them as quickly as reasonably possible.

Measures We Have Implemented

To support accessibility, our website incorporates, or is working to incorporate, the following measures:

Structural and Technical Measures

  • Clear page structure and logical headings

  • Descriptive links and buttons where possible

  • Text alternatives for meaningful images and graphics

  • Support for browser zoom and responsive viewing on different devices

  • Keyboard navigation across key areas of the website

  • Visible focus indicators for interactive elements where possible

  • Avoidance of flashing or rapidly blinking content

  • Clear and readable content layout

Assistive Technology Compatibility

The website is designed to work with modern devices, browsers, and operating systems, including:

  • Windows

  • macOS

  • iOS

  • Android

  • Google Chrome

  • Mozilla Firefox

  • Safari

  • Microsoft Edge

Older browsers, outdated devices, or older assistive technologies may not provide the best experience.

Known Limitations

Although we work to make the website accessible, some limitations may still exist. These may include:

  • Older PDF files or documents that may not yet be fully accessible

  • Third-party booking tools, payment systems, maps, or embedded content

  • Automatically generated content

  • Images that may occasionally be missing alternative text

  • Video or media content that may not yet include captions or transcripts

  • Third-party travel content or supplier materials outside our direct control

We are actively working to improve these areas. If you encounter an accessibility barrier, please contact us so we can review the issue.

Third-Party Content

Some parts of the website may rely on third-party services, such as booking platforms, payment processors, maps, videos, forms, analytics tools, or travel supplier content.

These third parties operate independently and may not fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards. Shekinah Travel Lifestyle does not control external code or third-party platforms and therefore cannot guarantee the full accessibility of those elements.

However, where possible, we aim to use third-party tools that support a more accessible user experience.

Accessibility of Travel Services and Destinations

As a travel agency, some services, accommodation, transport, excursions, retreats, or destination experiences may be provided by third-party suppliers.

Accessibility arrangements may vary depending on the destination, hotel, airline, resort, venue, transport provider, or activity provider.

Customers are encouraged to contact us in advance if they require accessibility support or have specific travel needs, including but not limited to:

  • Step-free access

  • Accessible rooms

  • Mobility support

  • Airport assistance

  • Accessible transport

  • Dietary requirements

  • Medical or health-related travel considerations

  • Seating or accommodation adjustments

  • Support for hearing, visual, or cognitive needs

We will do our best to provide available information and liaise with relevant suppliers where possible. However, accessibility arrangements may depend on third-party availability, destination rules, and supplier policies.
