Accessible Escape
Accessible Escapes is the newest Inclusive Tourism travel agency on the block in the US. With itineraries to Italy they have ambitious plans to expand worldwide. The web site includes the Web 2.0 functionality necessary to succeed at their highly personalized approach -- membership, blog, bulletin board, photo and video sharing:
Accessible Escapes aims to provide a more compelling alternative to standard accessible travel options. Their goal is to share an authentic travel experience through getting to know the people, culture and landscape of every destination. They specialize in small groups and individualized attention, allowing clients to set the pace and, whenever possible, select the sites that best suit their needs and interests. Founders Jennifer Wittman and Loredana Caminiti personally visit and establish relationships in every city to which Accessible Escapes travels.
From the Accessible Escapes website:
We are not your average travel company.We place a high premium on quality and personal service. And on offering you an experience unlike any you might find elsewhere. Here are just a few of the things the set us apart.
* We understand. We know what it’s like to travel with limited mobility. We also understand a passion for travel, as well as the associated fears and concerns. This knowledge gives us a deep respect for our clients and commitment to exceptional service.
* We specialize in small groups. Our services are geared toward individuals, families and small groups rather than volumes of customers. This gives us the time to listen, advise and attend to individual needs.
* We help you help the environment. To minimize the environmental impact of our travels, we help you offset the carbon footprint of your trip - and we’ll even split the cost with you. Learn more >About Accessible Escapes.
