Disability - whether short term or permanent - does not stop people wanting to travel for pleasure, or needing to travel for business. Travelling for someone who may be a wheelchair user, can be an alarming prospect, but does not have to be an impossible problem. Careful and sometimes painstaking planning is needed.

Disability can take many forms: to be disabled means having an impairment which takes away abilities which someone would otherwise be able to enjoy.

When a person uses a wheelchair, or can only move about on sticks and crutches, their disability is only too evident. Although they are likely to have the greatest difficulties in travelling, there are many more people who may not be obviously disabled, but have some problem which can make it difficult to move about easily and to enjoy a holiday without difficulties or worries. People who have had strokes or are arthritic, blind or epileptic are likely to be among these.
There are also many people whose mobility is impaired temporarily, such as those who have broken limbs, or women who are in the late stages of pregnancy.

Travel opportunities and choice for disabled people have grown dramatically over the past few years, and travel agents can play an important role in ensuring the success of what may, in many cases, be a first trip away from home.
