[Travelandtourism] [Bulk] Re: Travel packages for the blind

[Peter Donahue]

Good morning everyone,

    During last year's NFB of Missouri Convention a woman from a similar 
travel agency spoke about her company and how they "Reach out" to disabled 
travelers. She spoke glowingly of how her outfit "Provides high-quality 
service to disabled travelers." She went on to tell us about their escort 
service and how she can arrange for escorts to assist blind and other 
travelers with disabilities on all legs of their trip never once indicating 
that she believed that some of us may not want the "Red carpet" treatment 
that included a visit with the queen of England, butlers and servants to 
"Take care of our needs" etc for the amazing low price of $2000.00 while 
sighted travelers paid far less. No one who heard her presentation was 
impressed with her kind of "Door-to-door" service provided to disabled 
travelers. I wonder if the agency we're discussing is the same outfit?

I agree and wouldn't do it.

I don't think it is fair for anyone to pay a difference for the same trip.
my own opinion.
