Dekel Tours Accessibility Statement
Introduction
The internet is currently the largest source of information and freedom for all users, and especially for users with disabilities. Therefore, we place great importance on providing equal access to people with disabilities, allowing them to use and benefit from the information on our website, and enabling a better browsing experience.
We strive to ensure that our digital services are accessible to people with disabilities, and have invested significant resources to make the website as easy to use as possible for everyone. We believe that every person deserves the right to live with equality, dignity, comfort, and independence.
The website complies, as much as possible, with the requirements of the Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities Regulations (Service Accessibility Adjustments), 2013.
Accessibility adaptations have been made according to the recommendations of the Israeli standard (IS 5568) for web content accessibility at AA level, and the international WCAG 2.0 guidelines.
The site provides a semantic structure for assistive technologies and supports common keyboard usage patterns.
For the best experience with a screen reader, we recommend using the latest version of the NVDA software.
Dekel Tours Group acts according to Israeli Standard 5568 – ‘Guidelines for Web Content Accessibility’ at AA level. This Israeli standard matches the international Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0.
The site works well with popular browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Opera (subject to the manufacturers’ terms), and is also adapted for display on mobile phones.
For keyboard operation, we support the use of the Tab, Enter, and Esc keys to navigate menus and close windows.
Accessibility consulting for this website was provided by VEE – Web Accessibility Consultants.
