What is Accessible Travel Press?

travel tips, travel stories, apps, reviews, videos, guides and accommodation INTERNATIONAL

At Accessible Travel Press you can easily spend a couple of hours searching, reading and exploring when you decide to dive into the world of accessible travel, or when you need to plan a fun day out in your hometown.

We have not mapped the entire world but you can easily find tens of thousands of places. Search, scroll and search some more!

This is not a website for people with a disability, exclusively

Accessible Travel Press is a website where you find checked and verified information when it comes to accessible accommodation, places to go see or information about travel by air or railroad.

It is also not about wheelchair travel only. You will find information useful for people with guide dogs, deaf travelers, blind travelers.

Travelers with a disability not always have enough time or energy to go online and search for hours on end to make an attempt organizing a trip to the local museum.

That is why we encourage to share our website with friends and family and let them dive in too.

ACCESSIBLE TRAVEL PRESS

Over the years we have built a large database that is always kept up-to-date. We call it now the ‘Accessible Travel Library’.

That is why we have decided to focus on publishing guides and stories, you are welcome to share yours! and helping communities and fundraising projects through our non profit the Accessible Travel Foundation.

Local and global

We collect as much as information we can find. Detailed accessibility information on the location itself, stories and tips from well known accessible travel bloggers. The major accessibility review platforms out there. It is all here.

From here onwards, we simply need you to share or add your top tips! Anything interesting or useful you find, share it at Accessible Travel Press.

Every day people find and need our resources for the first time.

If you know a great blog, a place you visited or a travel agent you loved, please use the comment sections and share it there so all information of value stays in one place to the benefit of everyone.

Butterfly effect

Social media and its AI have been changed fundamentally over the years. It is really difficult to reach people you want to reach. We don’t want our resources hidden… more and more people need them.

So we focus primarily on our website (blog subscription), Substack and Facebook primarily.

Share the love

This is where you can play a very important role. At our website you can leave your comment on every page.

You can reach so many people with your tips and experience. Accessible Travel Press literally works like a library that way.

If every visitor to our website adds 1 tip, thousands of links are added every month

How to add your golden travel tip

Go to the page where your tip should be added. Scroll to the comment section and leave your comment. You can do this with your Google account, with your Facebook or Twitter account or via WordPress.

60.000

Imagine what happens if only 5000 people around the world add a comment every month, that means 60.000 tips annually!

It takes only a few minutes, and has global reach. A huge butterfly effect will take place. Other travelers visiting Accessible Travel Press will start adding comments too.

This is the true magic of online travel information – the purpose of Accessible Travel Online (how we started in 2016) will become reality.

Our goal is to be the online portal people go to when they need accessible travel information, because so much is here in one place.

Come back soon, feel welcome!

Nobody will prefer to visit hundreds of websites, or stay on Google forever and do the same thing everyone does, looking for reliable accessibility information. Right?

We invite you all to visit Accessible Travel Press regularly and use the available resources here or add your own reliable information.

We know from our statistics that 2/3 of visitors return to search information. This means that people are checking in from many places around the world all the time, as the world map in the website footer shows (the lights show when you visit!).

Search, discover, find

We started, years ago, with a few listings of truly accessible hotels. That did not really work. People expected a huge database and even though there was a serious selection of checked and verified places to stay, doubt and disbelief won and the big booking sites were still favored because of quantity, not because of quality.

Everyone in the disabled community knows hotel booking websites share incorrect or incomplete information.

Make sure to check our the Best of the Best in accommodation.

Thousands of years

So we built a database of truly accessible places. This takes time. A lot of time. And the world, well, it is a pretty big place. If we had to map it by ourselves, we would need thousands of years to do that.

Therefore we encourage you to search, discover and find accessibility information about places you want to go visit and simply let us know or add it in the comment sections.

Checked and verified

Every website we have linked to at Accessible Travel Press has been checked and verified.

Also, our links are updated all the time so you will rarely find a broken link. As we link directly to accessibility information of places of interest or companies – like airlines or airports – it does sometimes happen that the link has changed, which is usually a good thing, cause it means they updated their information on accessibility services. It means more work for us, that’s for sure!

Global growth and visibility

Throughout the website you find many SEARCH boxes, you can search on our Facebookpage, Twitter or Youtube channel using simple search terms such as ‘hotel‘ or ‘Florida‘ or ‘Europe‘.

Feel free to share our website on your social media. Somebody can see it and use the information.

You can add a link now to your Facebook and Instagram stories too. The more our resources are shared, the more people can benefit. Feel free to use it! www.accessibletravel.online

Review platforms, travel bloggers and social media resources

In short, you can visit our page where the largest review platforms around the world are listed when it comes to accessibility.

You can start by following the most well known accessible travel bloggers.

If you have no travel plans now, you might want to check out social media groups or channels on accessible travel on every continent.
