practical tips for travelers

the physically challenged traveler

 

It is difficult for you to read or to move around? Don't worry, the United States are probably one of the easiest country to visit. Have a look and see how easy they made it for you.

 

Physically challenged travelers will find the United States an increasingly comfortable place to visit. The '1990 Americans with Disabilities Act' accelerated an already ongoing process of providing equal facilities for the disabled.

Today the disabled traveler will find lower public phones, special restrooms, elevators with Braille indicators, access ramps and reserved parking spaces at hotels, restaurants and fun parks. Many guidebooks indicate which attractions and facilities are wheelchairs accessible.
