Margaritaville Hotels & Resorts, Camp Margaritaville Resorts and Compass Hotels are expanding their commitment to inclusive hospitality with a new autism-focused certification program announced during Autism Acceptance Month.

Properties across the Margaritaville portfolio have completed certification through Autism Double-Checked, an organization that provides specialized training for hospitality staff working with guests on the autism spectrum.

The certification process includes a two-part training program designed to equip team members with skills to assist families traveling with loved ones on the spectrum. Certified properties now offer comprehensive Visitor Guides on the Autism Double-Checked website featuring sensory-friendly information, safety measures and planning resources for guests.

"Creating a welcoming, laid-back escape for all is at the heart of everything we do," said Adam Bocken, vice president of training and development at Margaritaville. "As we honor Autism Acceptance Month, we're proud to deepen our commitment to accessibility and understanding for neurodiverse travelers. But this initiative goes far beyond April – it's about making a lasting impact year-round."
