Taking a holiday can be an anxiety-inducing experience for people who are blind and low vision because of barriers created by the industry. These include, but are not limited to a lack of information, accessibility, and tools. We sat down with Bethany and Anne, advocates within the blind and low-vision community to gain their perspectives, advice, and thoughts on travelling as a person with low vision.

Getting the most value out of your holiday as a person who is blind or has low vision takes a lot of careful consideration. We've included some of our best tips to take the stress out of planning, from airlines to accessibility and the best travel aids, so you can relax and enjoy your holiday in peace!

Orientation and Mobility (O&M) training plays an important role in enabling blind and low vision tourists to travel independently. O&M training aligns with our mission at Vacayit, to break down barriers to independent travel for blind and low vision tourists and open up a world full of amazing travel opportunities.
