We are not just about leisure travel. Our division wants to achieve equality, opportunity and security for the blind in all things in travel realm. 
We work with people seeking to work the travel industry; as either travel agents, or to work with such suppliers as a hotel, resort, cruise line, or maybe tour operators, or being your own entrepreneur.  That means education. The travel industry whether you just travel, advocate, or work in it, is over a multi-trillion dollar industry and there is a lot of opportunities for the blind.

The purpose of the National Federation of the Blind Travel & Tourism Division is to aid the National Federation of the Blind. It is to serve as a vehicle for collective action by the blind of the nation. This division functions as a mechanism through which all interested blind and sighted persons can come together to plan and execute programs that improve the quality of life and travel for the blind. We promote vocational, cultural and social advancement of the blind; to achieve integration of the blind into society on the basis of equality with the sighted; to focus attention upon accessibility and problems facing blind travelers, to educate blind people interested in the travel and tourism industry; and to take any other action necessary to improve the overall condition and standard of living of the blind.
