There is a Need for Accessible Travel Services

For persons with disabilities it is essential to have information about accessible resources that they can enjoy.

Given the frequent lack of information, an indispensable resource are travel agencies and tour operators that offer information on all kinds of tourist services and products.

These companies provide specialized services welcoming tourists with disabilities, meeting their needs while at the same time promoting the accessible services and infrastructure existing at that destination.
