5 Deciding Factors When Booking an Accessible Hotel

The top disability lifestyle and travel blogger in the United Kingdom, Emma Muldoon, recently assembled a list of key factors to consider when booking an accessible hotel room as a wheelchair user.

In commenting on accessible travel demand, she notes that “Disability will affect all of us at some point in our lives and currently, 1 in 5 people are disabled.” This presents an opportunity for the travel industry, as “the collective spending power of disabled people is called The Purple Pound and is estimated at £274 billion a year.” In order to take advantage of that opportunity, business including hotels must ensure adequate wheelchair accessibility for disabled guests.

With this in mind, Emma assembled her list of things disabled people search for when choosing where to stay on holiday. To read the full list, check out the article on the Simply Emma website.
