> Hello Cheryl,
> As a person used to planning travel events for people of varying abilities
> there are several questions I ask.
> Who is traveling?
> How do they like to travel?
> Do they need guides when traveling in unfamiliar places?  (This is not just
> a mobility question. Many people want travel experiences but are nervous
> about traveling alone In unfamiliar places.)
> What kinds of experiences would they like to have while traveling: indoors,
> outdoors, athletic, museums, etc.?
> What kinds of accommodations do they need, wheelchair accessibility, audio
> tours, Braille, etc.?
> 
> As you know, some people are good at figuring out all of these things on
> their own, while others are not aware of the accessible opportunities
> available to them.  As travel or event professionals we have to figure out
> their comfort and knowledge levels during the contact.
> 
> These are just a few of my thoughts to get the ball rolling.
