        Not sure how much you’ll like the outcome, but Disability Horizons just published the results of their survey about people with disabilities’ travel intentions and travel behavior considering the current pandemic: https://disabilityhorizons.com/2020/07/95-of-disabled-people-wont-travel-abroad-until-there-is-a-vaccine-for-covid-19-or-we-know-more-about-it/ Thoughts?

        Majority Of Disabled People Unhappy About Travelling During Covid-19

        Our survey has found that 95% of disabled and chronically ill people won't travel abroad until we know more about Covid-19 or there is a vaccine. 49% are unhappy about holiday accommodation opening in the UK.

            Interesting about the accommodations.  Which do you think would be better, hotels, or Airbnb-like privately owned places?
            I would assume hotels would have stricter guidelines, but with many rooms there would also be the likelhood of hurrying and cutting corners…
            I will likely try a domestic trip first.  But not yet. 😅

              I don’t think that the type of accommodation determines how safe a place will be. Especially if you consider that cutting corners can result in serious reputation damage and worse.

              Quite expected answers. However, for myself speaking, I don’t think we should stop traveling (if everything goes well I go to Crete island next week – in country travel can be nice too!), but rather to be careful, choose wisely the destination, the way of transport and follow all the safety protocols.

                Great!  It will be an opportunity to rediscover are local tourism offerings for a while.  Please share about your trip later!

                  It was very nice! If I have time in the future maybe I will write something about it 🙂
