BookingCenter Booking Engines and ADA Compliance IMPORTANT

All BookingCenter Booking Engine Templates are designed with the necessary elements to meet WCAG Guidelines including "Alternative Text"  also known as the "ALT Tag" for Images. We have provided an "ALT Text "field for each Room Type Image in MyPMS, but the descriptive text must be entered by you in the "ALT Text" field for each Room Type Image. This means that every Room Type image on your Booking Engine should have descriptive "Alt Text" entered in MyPMS to ensure that your Booking Engine complies with ADA and WCAG standards.
