A little extra planning can make a big difference to your holiday. Knowing what to look for before you book can help you travel with greater confidence.
Here are five simple tips that could help you plan with more confidence:
Many customers book "accessible" hotels only to discover on arrival that the hotel has steps to reception, a bath instead of a wet room, or lifts that aren't big enough for larger wheelchairs.
Don't be afraid to ask exactly what makes a room accessible and whether it suits your individual needs before you book.
Many people focus on whether the hotel is accessible but don't always consider the surrounding area. This can lead to holidays where the accommodation is suitable, but exploring the destination is much more difficult than expected.
Instead, think about the whole holiday. Can you get to restaurants? Are there accessible places to visit nearby? Will you be able to enjoy the destination as well as the hotel?
Many first-time travellers only realise what they should have asked once they're already on holiday.
Rather than just looking at a list of facilities, imagine yourself arriving, getting settled and enjoying your day. This often helps you identify questions before you book.
No website can answer every question.
If you're unsure about even the smallest thing, it's always worth speaking to a specialist or travel advisor for guidance on the destination, accessibility, care and anything else you're uncertain about. They can often provide reassurance and practical answers you won't always find online.
Travelling with a company that specialises in accessible holidays means you don't have to plan everything on your own. They've already done the research, understand a wide range of accessibility needs and have experienced Travel Advisors on hand to answer questions and offer reassurance before and during your holiday.
The most important thing is that you can spend less time worrying about your needs and more time enjoying your holiday.
