Practical planning for accessible travel

Tracey Ingram’s guide organizes travel considerations around a range of access needs, including low vision, hearing loss, mobility disabilities, diabetes, arthritis and traveling with oxygen. Its practical emphasis is on preparing for specific parts of a trip: asking questions when booking hotels, cruises or flights, managing mobility aids, and considering accessible home rentals. The description also points to fatigue reduction and travel across time zones, alongside resource sections that direct readers to disability travel forums. The book presents these topics as part of a series addressing barriers travelers with disabilities may encounter; this volume gathers several disability-related concerns into one travel-planning resource.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Travelers with disabilities seeking planning prompts for lodging, cruises or flights.
  • Seniors and baby boomers with accessibility needs who are considering travel.
  • Caregivers or travel companions helping someone plan around mobility, sensory or health needs.
