Naturally i am pleased that we here in the UK, take this seriously and are taking pro active steps towards offering wheelchair users an accessible experience when they visit.
Of course im going to be biased but i do think that we are pretty much on base here when it comes to considering equal rights..... I did a little research one time on Accessible Tourism which i learnt how much countries can actually gain amazing revenue from Tourism so its logic and good sense also!
VisitEngland chief executive, James Berresford, said: “As the national tourist board, we are committed to ensuring England is a destination that offers a warm welcome for all visitors.
“The Access for All project is a fantastic opportunity to continue to build England’s reputation as a leader in accessible tourism, and help grow this important and valuable market, now worth £3billion to England’s economy.”

A national drive to promote England as a leading destination for accessible tourism is being planned after VisitEngland won a bid for European cash.
The ‘Access for All’ project will be funded by a grant of €125,000 from the European Commission.
VisitEngland will partner with seven destinations to develop and promote their areas for visitors with disabilities.
