About
WheelchairTravel.org is a travel resource created and maintained by John Morris, a wheelchair user who has visited more than 70 countries and rigorously documents the accessibility of destinations, hotels, airports, cruise ships, and transportation systems around the world. The site fills a gap left by generic travel guides that rarely give the detail wheelchair users need.
What It Does
The site provides in-depth destination guides (including step counts, surface types, door widths, and bathroom layouts), hotel accessibility reviews with measurements and photos, airline and airport accessibility guides, and practical tips on topics like travelling with a power wheelchair, managing medications abroad, and navigating foreign healthcare. A YouTube channel extends the content with video walkthroughs.
Who It Helps
Wheelchair users and people with physical disabilities who travel or want to travel independently. Content is especially valuable for power wheelchair and scooter users who need precise dimensional information before booking.
