Perfect Caribbean Holidays For Disabled Visitors

By Edward Watkinson

Caribbean holidays hold charm for all sorts of tourists: adults, kids and the disabled. The place is so immensely beautiful and lively that everybody can find something interesting to do here. The Caribbean is not only famous for its water sports and the thrill and adventure associated with it. Over 7000 Caribbean islands are sandwiched between the mighty Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. Its white sand beaches and crystal-clear waters, the beautiful landscape and the swaying pine trees welcome the disabled visitors warmly.

The best water sports in the world can be experienced only in the Caribbean. Those visitors who are disabled would probably stay away from such exciting sports, but simply watching others doing jet skiing and parasailing shall prove to be a wonderful treat to the eyes.

Wheel chairs are available almost everywhere from the flights and airports and at most of the hotels. Efforts have been made to make extra arrangements for disabled visitors. Most tour operators, hotels and cruise ships have to comply with the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) to ensure great comfort for visitors with disabilities.
