"Progress – good progress – is being made on accessible travel, but why do us disabled people have to fight so hard for it?", writes Limitless Travel founder and chief executive Angus Drummond for TTG ahead of International Day of Persons with Disabilities (3 December).

Drummond: 'I’m confident that over the next five years we’ll see more change

Since we launched Limitless Travel in 2017, it’s been our mission to make the world of travel accessible to everyone and anyone. As a disabled person myself, I’ve experienced first-hand the difficulties of travelling with a disability – and how rarely the travel industry used to consider disabled tourists.

I have to say, though, that over the past few years, strides have been made. The travel industry is finally starting to sit up and take notice of the importance of offering accessible trips, as well as the significant opportunity it presents to them in terms of revenue.
