Top 5 Mobility Tips for World Tourism Day

September 27th 2021 is World Tourism Day. Fittingly, this year’s World Tourism Day theme is “Tourism for Inclusive Growth” set by the United Nations. Navigating a new place with a disability can be stressful but hopefully the below tips and products can show you it is still possible! 

Travel Tips and Suggestions:

• Plan for everything you can expect. Doing the proper research and planning will alleviate the stress of the unknowns. 
• Think about using a specialized travel agent. A trained travel agent will understand a location’s accessibility opinions and can even suggest the best ones!
• Arrange assistance at the airport. All airports offer wheelchair assistance in and around the terminal. 
• Properly disassemble all mobility products. If your durable medical device is traveling with you, make sure nothing is able to fall off and be lost. 
• Have fun! Being a tourist is meant to be a relaxing and enjoyable time. This is a great moment to decompress from our busy lives.
