Over the last 10 years there has been an increase in the number of companies providing wheelchair accessible holidays. Some are run and operated by specialist holiday companies, who ensure that all accommodation that is used is wheelchair accessible, allowing the holiday to be a great experience to the wheelchair user. However, many of the leading tour operators have changed the listing details in their brochures including some information for wheelchair users. The information they give seems to be general in most cases and cannot truly be listed as wheelchair accessible holidays.

It is the specialist tour operators that carry out many checks on hotels or villas or apartments measuring the bathrooms, the doorways, the access to the lifts; it is this extra bit of information that allows wheelchair accessible holidays to really unfold and happen.

Our website www.accessibleaccommodation.com allows the property owner or manger or agent to state exactly all the different requirements and features of the property to allow it to feature in a wheelchair accessible holiday site.

Years ago it was a difficulty travelling with a wheelchair, and whilst it can sometimes still be an arduous journey. The world has opened up and the world of wheelchair accessible holidays has expanded as more and more property owners and travel companies realise that allowing your service to be opened up to a wider audience, allows you more rewards. Doing anything to prevent wheelchair accessible holiday is not only unlawful but restricts your own potential lettings.
