Nearly a third (32%) of people have avoided travelling due to accessibility concerns, according to new insights from TUI, that reveal the most common barriers include a lack of sensory-friendly spaces, poorly designed facilities, and limited wheelchair access. The findings also show that two-thirds (66%) of respondents believe travel challenges are an expected part of life for people with disabilities while 27% feel the UK isn’t doing enough to support disabled and neurodivergent individuals to access travel equally. From inaccessible booking systems to long waits at airports, inadequate support from airline and hotel staff, and unsuitable lifts, the frustrations are widespread.
