About this resource

About

Emerging Horizons was founded in 1997 by Candy Harrington, an award-winning travel writer and author of several books on accessible travel. It is one of the oldest and most respected consumer publications dedicated exclusively to accessible travel, with a particular emphasis on people with mobility disabilities — from full-time wheelchair users to travellers who walk slowly or use assistive devices. The website provides active articles and updates through 2026.

What It Does

Emerging Horizons publishes quarterly issues covering international and domestic destination guides, accessible accommodation and cruise reviews, air travel features, practical travel tips, legal rights updates, and adaptive gear reviews. The website provides free articles and destination resources; a subscription unlocks the full digital and print archive. A newsletter keeps subscribers current on accessible travel news.

Who It Helps

Emerging Horizons serves wheelchair and scooter users, people with mobility impairments, slow walkers, and senior travellers who want accurate, unbiased information for planning accessible trips. Its long publication history makes it a trusted reference for both independent disabled travellers and travel professionals who specialise in accessible tourism.
