Traveling can be a wonderful experience, filled with new places and cultures to discover. However, the experience can be much more enjoyable when working with a travel agent who can plan every aspect of the trip ahead of time, eliminating a great deal of stress for the traveler. This especially holds true for travelers with special needs.
Individuals
with special needs have more travel planning to do than others, to
ensure that their trip is not only enjoyable, but also safe and
hassle-free. Using a travel professional to do all the legwork can
result in a positive experience – before, during and after a vacation.
Many agents now offer special travel plans and information for those
with special needs.
What are some specific ways that travel agents can help travelers with special needs? They know which locations, ships, hotels, museums, historic landmarks, etc. are more accessible than others. This is very important when it comes to everything from dining to beds, restrooms to excursions, hearing/vision impaired equipment availability, and much more.
