New research conducted by disabled-friendly operator Limitless Travel has claimed that the "vast majority" of disabled British travellers are looking forward to travel again.

It’s an exciting time for the Birmingham-based company, which is set to move into larger offices at the end of the month

Around 172 out of 200 respondents (86%) to the survey said they are "keen to get back to travelling", but more than half (57%) confirmed they will wait until 2022 for overseas trips.

Almost all respondents (98%) have had at least one Covid-19 jab and 84% reported that once vaccinated they felt more interested in travelling again. More than two thirds (69%) said they usually go on one or two holidays a year.

According to Limitless Travel, prior to the pandemic, it was estimated that a third of people with disabilities living in the UK never went on holiday due to the perceived stresses and worries about travel.
