UMOJA Travels is a pioneer for ‘Accessible Tourism’ in India. Accessible tourism is the ongoing endeavour to ensure tourist destinations; products and services are accessible to all people, regardless of their physical limitations, disabilities or age.
Many specially-abled people across the globe have great difficulty in getting and finding accommodation. At UMOJA, the team gathers dependable and detailed access and travel-related information, so that people can quickly find hotels that meet their very specific needs and preferences.
Talking about the collaboration, Yeshwant Holkar, Co-Founder - UMOJA had this to say, “The word “Umoja” in Swahili means Inclusive and our ultimate goal is to enable accessible & great travel. By partnering with Digital Republik, we are looking forward to using a differentiated thinking in building awareness of the amazing travel options available to our customers who are ‘specially-abled’. Digital Republik shares the same wavelength as my team’s & we are excited to work with them.”

We are committed to show UMOJA to the world, building a service where everyone can #TravelTogether.
