Summer is fast approaching and here at MCS Case Management we are constantly on the lookout for Accessible Travel options! We strongly believe that travel doesn’t have to be limited by mobility challenges and that everyone should be able to travel without limits. We have found a few helpful articles that provide links to different travel websites where there is something suitable for everyone.
When planning an accessible trip, there are several key elements to consider. Reliable accommodation is a must—this should include not only step-free entry and roll-in showers, but also thoughtful details like lowered counters, wide doorways, and reachable amenities. These features make a massive difference in comfort and independence while traveling.

Today, more destinations are recognising the importance of catering to all travelers ensuring that accessibility isn’t treated as an afterthought, but as a core part of the travel experience. There is an in-depth article here on accessible travel destinations across Europe, where all factors are considered thoroughly.
Still, we must acknowledge that challenges remain. Accessibility can vary widely depending on local infrastructure, funding, and cultural attitudes. What’s considered “wheelchair accessible” in one country may fall short in another. That’s why researching ahead of time, contacting service providers directly, and seeking up-to-date reviews from other disabled travelers are all vital steps in the planning process.
But despite the planning involved, the payoff is immense. The joy of discovering new places, experiencing different cultures, or simply unwinding in a beautiful setting is something everyone deserves—and accessible travel makes that possible. With growing advocacy and increasing global commitment to inclusive design, the travel industry is becoming more responsive to the needs of disabled travelers and here at MCS we welcome that with open arms.
