Our Vision

The traveler sees what he sees. The tourist sees what he has come to see.

~G.K. Chesterton.

Our philosophy to travel is based on the premise that the journey is as important as the final destination. Having travelled extensively we know that there are literally thousands of places that are not only accessible but can be enjoyed by people with all levels of mobility, both as individuals or as groups of friends or families. At Travability we don't seek to find "special" tour operators, but inclusive destinations and accommodation that can be enjoyed by all. Just over a year ago we tried to organise a tour for a group of elite disabled sailors to attend their inaugural world championships in Toronto Canada. It was so frustrating with the lack of support from the general travel organisations in regards to accessible travel arrangements that we decided to do something about it and bring those accessible destinations to light. Travability was born to to open as much of the world as we can to all.
