Are you fit to travel?
A physical disability certainly does not prevent travelling, but it does
make travelling more
complicated, as certain parts of the world might not be appropriately equipped to
meet your needs. Although a lot of progress
has been made to help disabled travellers to travel independently, there are still
many situations which may cause
difficulties. For example, you may have to inform transport operators beforehand
that you will need assistance. It is
therefore very important to plan even short journeys carefully in advance.
Depending on your condition, it may be best to
travel with a companion. If you want to travel alone, be sure that you can manage
on your own.
Choosing your destination
In the last couple of years, more and more travel service providers
throughout the world have modified
their offers to improve travelling conditions for people with disabilities. It is
best to choose a destination
which provides services adapted to your needs to be sure to have an enjoyable trip.
Ask about local infrastructure and services
when making reservations and choose the offer that seems best suited to your needs.
