A wealth of experience of travelling with a disability with links to almost 100 personal travel blogs.Country-by-country resources from national and local government and tourism bodies, public transport operators and NGOs, including searchable databases for accessible venues.
Links to accessible travel forums where you can ask questions or share your experiences.In-depth profiles of 11 of the world’s leading accessible travel bloggers.Special assistance pages for most of the world’s major airlines.Special assistance pages for the world’s 20 busiest airports according to passenger numbers.The world’s largest list of online resources for accessible travel – cited by the UNWTO as an example of best practice in accessible tourism – has almost doubled in extent compared with the last edition, with hundreds of new entries, including coverage of several new countries. We hope that this collection of online resources will go some way towards filling the information gap and alleviating unfounded fears, either by providing information directly or by introducing you to a host of people who haven’t let their disability get in the way of their love of travel. We also know that the first barrier to travel for many people who have access issues or a disability is a lack of information, combined with a fear of the unknown. We at Lonely Planet believe that travel is for all, no matter what their abilities or limitations. Hard of hearing or vision-impaired? A wheelchair user or slow walker? Fibromyalgia, MS or spinal-cord injury? None of these should stop you from experiencing the joy and benefits of travel.
