Flexible itineraries in accessible travel are becoming an increasingly important part of holiday planning. As the travel industry shifts away from rigid schedules, flexible itineraries for accessible travel are proving to be a better fit for disabled travellers who need time, adaptability and realistic pacing built into their trips.
We are seeing a growing number of cases where hotels refusing to allow essential medical equipment into guest rooms, usually citing “health and safety” concerns. A recent example involved Roca Nivaria Gran Hotel in Tenerife, where we were advised that an electric profiling bed and an electric hoist would not be permitted. For many disabled travellers, this type of equipment is not optional.
Accessible beaches abroad are often highlighted in destination marketing and can be a key reason disabled travellers choose one resort over another. From our experience arranging holidays overseas, “accessible beach” can mean very different things in practice. The detail matters far more than the label.
