Accessible Travel Limitations in any form should not keep you from seeing the world, and having a family member with unique travel requirements, should not exclude you from traveling! Accessible travel becomes more important every year. An Amadeus report on Accessible Travel says: “Millions of people with accessibility needs around the world want to travel more, be better connected, and have greater variety of personalized travel services and destinations. Above all, they want to be considered as travelers first, with the ability to plan, search, book and purchase their travel independently” Travel spending in the disability sector has risen by 27% over the past 13 years and continues to rise with more destinations realizing the importance of having facilities that can accommodate everyone. Travellers with mental, cognitive or physical conditions desire and can share similar experiences as every traveller such as dining out, visiting the beach, sight-seeing, cultural explorations among other things. Be it cane users, slow walkers, hearing/sight impaired, wheelchair users etc., travel should be for all and enjoyed by all.
