About

Accessible.travel is a new webpage that is being established by Craig Grimes a paraplegic and full-time wheelchair user. Grimes’ first web page was AccessibleBarcelona, a free online guide for people with disabilities to the Catalan capital. That page was written more as a hobby rather than anything else, however, due to public demand he began reserving accessible hotels, adapted transport and arranging mobility aid hire. Now, AccessibleBarcelona is a thriving busisness that has helped hundreds of people with disabilities and mature travellers enjoy the city.

Grimes has also created other web pages such as AccessibleCruiseTours designed to provide accessible shore excursions for cruise clients with disabilities. During the last year Craig has lived and worked in Nicaragua where he is experimenting with responsible communty tourism for people with disabilities in Central America, you can read more about this at AccessibleNicaragua. During his own trips, Grimes also attempts to help other travellers through giving information about destinations, accommodation and other services for people with disabilities. Accessible Everything has blog posts about Spain, France, UK, USA, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Brazil and India to mention a few.

Grimes’ new venture Accessible.travel is intended to fill an important gap in information and services for people with disabilities and mature travellers. Accessible.travel will provide online accessible accommodation booking services, adapted airport transfers, mobility equipment hire and suitable guided tours in a variety of European Cities. The idea is to start small with a selection of cities and slowly expand destination choices month by month.

The purpose of this blog is to give news updates on the progress of Accessible.travel as well as announce the launch of new destinations. The news blog will also give information about events that are happening at the destinations that we provide.
