Travel By Design: Accessible

“I am conscious of a soul-sense that lifts me above the narrow, cramping circumstances of my life. My physical limitations are forgotten- my world lies upward, the length and the breadth and the sweep of the heavens are mine!”               ― Helen Keller

Travel is a luxury that should be afforded to everyone regardless of socio-economic status, physcial limitations or age.  Many tourism boards and travel suppliers around the world are working to create barrier-free destinations, attractions and activities, transporation and other services for travelers of all abilities.  Photo courtesy of the Bureau of Land Management for Oregon and Washington
