Florida specialist urges agents 'not to be fearful' of accessible bookings

Recent data shows that one in five people are living with a disability in the UK

The villa holiday specialist launched its accessible programme in November 2022 to tailor customers’ holidays to Florida. The move, according to Ocean Florida, has since generated more than £8 million in sales. 


Recent data shows that one in five people are living with a disability in the UK. The company, part of Ocean Holidays Group, recently carried out a survey which revealed more than half of respondents with a disability associate going on holiday with stress, while 36% link travel to frustration.
