Individuals with disabilities spend over $4.2 billion in the hospitality industry every year. It is estimated that if certain needs were met, that amount could increase to over $27 billion yearly.

The 2000 US Census Bureau indicates that almost 42% of adults 65 and older have disabilities. Currently more that 50% of the total US discretionary income is controlled by individuals 50 years of age or older.
