Open Britain
In July this year, three leading charities - Tourism for All, RADAR and Shopmobility - came together to launch Open Britain, a one stop shop for people looking to find accessible tourism and leisure options. The Minister for Tourism, Barbara Follett MP and the Minister for Disabled People, Jonathan Shaw MP launched the Open Britain campaign at the National Theatre on Southbank.
The initiative will include:
- An interactive website with a database of places to eat, drink sleep and visit
- The capability for users to review experiences and contribute to a travel blog
- An easily recognisable Open Britain logo for accessible businesses to use to promote their services
- An annual printed guide detailing accessible accommodation, leisure and food and beverage options
