Barrier-Free-Travel Set For Summer Release
Ripon, CA — May 12, 2001 — Emerging Horizons editor Candy Harrington is looking forward to the mid summer release of her first book, Barrier Free Travel; A Nuts & Bolts Guide for Wheelers & Slow Walkers. Says Harrington, "I guess you could categorize Barrier-Free Travel as a self help book about accessible travel. My assumption is that people want to take an active role in their holiday planning, whether they work with a travel agent or do it on their own."
This well-researched resource contains detailed information about the logistics of planning accessible travel by plane, train, bus and ship. Chapters include important details about protecting your wheelchair when you fly, traveling with oxygen, cruising, accessible ground transportation, choosing a travel agent, on-line booking, accessible recreation and budget travel. Also included is a comprehensive chapter devoted to self-advocacy, consumer-rights and what to do when things go wrong.
Barrier-Free Travel is a great resource for wheelchair or scooter-users, slow walkers, travel agents, CILs and libraries. It's filled with resources, travel tips, and updated information about accessible travel options.
