There are many websites that already do that. You don’t pay extra for the assistance. That’s what a travel agent does.

Why not get paid to do it? There’s a growing market for travel agents that specialize in that.

Hi Patty!

That is awesome 👍 Be sure to join the tabifolk groups for places you would help with. (If there are ones you feel very strongly about, let me know and I can boost you to a concierge.)

But as Carlos mentioned, maybe you could charge and make a career from it! It doesn’t need to be immediate, but perhaps after volunteering here (or other places), you could gradually switch over?

Travel agents and travel advisors typically do not charge, because they get commission from the vendor. Sometimes, however, a person wants the advisor’s expertise for a trip with few, if any, commissions. Then a planning fee can be charged. The advisor charging a planning fee better be really expert on the destination.

Hello Patty – if you would like to, you could work on an accessible mini guide for a destination of your choice (a country in Europe, for the moment not going out of the continent for WheelTribe) or design a weekend tour and at the same time promote your activity as trip planner on wheeltribe.eu. (the promotion of your activity as trip planner is free- we have a free partners program: https://www.wheeltribe.eu/partnersprogram)
Let me know if you want to discuss this!

have a great day

Thanks very much, but I don’t have any accessible accommodation or restaurant/cafe that I want to advertise

[Laura H]

If you’re interested on getting paid to do this as a job message me as I’d love to add you to my team of travel advisors who do this and get reduced rate travel up to 80% off

[Patty]

Thanks, Laura, I wouldn’t mind being paid for the many accessible trips that I make daily. I volunteer for a charity that enables the elderly and disabled people to live independently in their own homes and own communities. I also volunteer for another charity that tutors school pupils on the art of self-defense as an Admin Volunteer

[Patty]

I also travel to places like Windsor, Bath, Cambridge and would like to take a trip to Oxford in the near future

If, during your research, you ever feel like sharing some of your knowledge and findings in the form of a blog post or article, then I am sure Josh would love to share it here on tabifolk, and I know I most definitely would love to share a guest post from you on my website – theworldisaccessible.com 🙂
