Mobility Friendly Travel
For people with mobility issues, hearing problems or impaired vision, just living from day to day can be fraught with problems, so trying to take a holiday or a short break away must seem like trying to achieve the impossible.
However, it’s not as bad as it may first seem, as there are several companies out there that can not only accommodate the disabled traveller, but companies which can also provide wheelchair accessible tours, specially adapted self catering apartments, mobility friendly cruises, accessible camping or caravan sites and even specially adapted activity or adventure holidays.
Google mobility friendly or disabled access travel and you may well find several websites claiming to offer accessible accommodation or holiday packages, but the companies we have listed below specialise solely in these types of travel, so we are more comfortable with providing links to these types of company.
