Disabled travellers call for industry to do more A survey of disabled travellers by the charity Tourism for All, and Adapted Vehicle Hire, which provides rental vehicle for disabled drivers, found that almost nine in ten of those questioned had been prevented from travelling due to their disability. Although 92 per cent of people said accessibility had improved in the last ten years, and more than a quarter said it was "significantly better," 86 per cent said information about disabled access and facilities remained insufficient. Carrie-Ann Lightley from Tourism For All said: "We are heartened that most people feel that access and facilities have improved in the past ten years, but the survey also revealed there are big variations across the UK. Access to some rural and historic sites will always present more of a challenge for disabled visitors, but places like airports have scope for significant improvement to better meet the needs of disabled travellers. Lorraine Farnon, managing director of Adapted Vehicle Hire, said: "The results of this survey clearly demonstrate that despite gradual progress, more needs to be done to make the travel industry more accessible for disabled people. Following the outstanding success of the Paralympics which has brought disability issues increasingly into the mainstream, there is now an opportunity to make real improvements to access and facilities across the UK.
