Travel and Disability

Perceptions of Disability Around the World

From weekend getaways to round-the-world trips—without necessarily aiming to match Patrick Segal, who circled the globe in a wheelchair in 1976—many people with disabilities travel. However, attitudes toward disability, societal perceptions, and the resources available to make daily life easier vary widely across the globe.
