The Intersection of Travel and Disability

John Morris Creates Wheelchair Travel Group Tour Programs for 2022 and 2023 Departures

John Morris, founder of the accessible travel website WheelchairTravel.org, will welcome his readers to Portugal later this year, with a disability-friendly group trip. Disabled people from around the world will join Morris, exploring Lisbon, Batalha and other cities in Portugal for an accessible journey to remember.

“When selecting destinations for an accessible group tour, I look for places that have the infrastructure to support accessible travel, and that have demonstrated a commitment to greater inclusivity,” said Morris. “My local partners and the Portuguese tourism authority (Visit Portugal) have worked with me to ensure that my readers will receive a warm welcome to one of Europe’s premier travel destinations,” he said.

Accessible travel demand is increasing as we emerge from coronavirus lockdown, and Morris sees a strong future for his group tour business. Later this year, he’ll be announcing additional tours that will take place in 2022 and 2023. “My promise to the disability community is to ‘Open Your World,’ and through these group tours, I’m able to play a more direct role in connecting disabled people to the world, and the world to disabled people.”
