We all love to holiday, but for people with a disability, there can be extra challenges.
Our guest on this episode of ExtraVirgin is Julie Jones, of website "Have Wheelchair Will Travel," editor of travel magazine Travel Without Limits (Australia's first disablity-specific magazine), and mother to intrepid adventurer, Braeden, 24, who was born with cerebral palsy.
Worldwide, the disability travel market is booming. In the UK, the market has expanded 3 times faster than 'regular' travel while in Australia, the inbound market is worth $10.8 billion - more than the Chinese market, yet many operators are still not up to speed when it comes to inclusive travel.
We talk to Julie about destinations who are getting it right, navigating flights and hotel rooms and her tips on how to travel without limits, whatever your ability.
