Enjoy an accessible holiday with TUI
Holidays should be for everyone – and TUI has teamed up with Travel Weekly to give two agents the chance to experience barrier-free travel for themselves.
Travelling should be as easy as possible, no matter what needs your clients might have. Whether they or someone they’re travelling with has reduced mobility, a physical disability or neurodiversity requirements, TUI’s dedicated assisted travel team is on hand to help you find their ideal holiday.
With detailed access guides for its most popular hotels and children’s sensory rooms that enable neuro-inclusive family holidays, TUI can help you take both visible and non-visible access needs into account to ensure your clients enjoy the holiday they deserve.
To showcase its accessible holidays first‑hand, TUI is looking for two agents to experience a seven-night holiday each, along with their loved ones, in its Holidays for Everyone competition.
When the winners return, they’ll be invited to share their experiences and trip photos with Travel Weekly in a forthcoming accessible travel-themed issue.
