Travel companies are overlooking the 7.7 million disabled people in the UK who might take an adventure holiday.
Elspeth Knight, founder of accessible travel consultancy EnCompass, told Adventure Travel Conference delegates that of the 13 million people living with a disability in the UK, 7.7 million have disposable income to spend on travel.
However, they are currently offered only a limited number of holiday options, she claimed.
“There are a few specialists who do sun, sea and sand but most of us don’t want to go on holiday with other disabled people,” she said.
