#C2SV15 Vision Hotels. We speak to Andrew Wilson about the Hotels
Vision Hotels (part of Action for Blind People)In an ideal world, a person’s ability would not be a factor in influencing whether or not they have an enjoyable, relaxing and stress-free holiday and we are determined to ensure that we make this ideal a reality.Although Vision Hotels operates exactly like a commercial business, we are different because we are a non-profit organisation and are part of Action for Blind People.We think that this is great for everyone. People from all walks of life and all abilities can enjoy our hotels and we see ourselves as a mainstream hotel with a big difference.Travel for most visually impaired people is fraught with difficulty, worry and stress, as it is virtually impossible to replicate the set-up that most people spend a long time creating in their home environments. As such, they usually make compromises or do not participate in certain activities, which ultimately results in not having the rich holiday experience they deserve.At Vision Hotels, the intimate understanding of the needs of visually impaired people is at the core of all of the services and activities that our hotels provide, creating the perfect foundation to enable visually impaired hotel visitors to relax and have choice, to tailor their holiday around what they want to do and not what they are able to do.ContactAndrew Wilson Address C/o Windermere Manor Hotel Rayrigg Road Windermere Cumbria LA23 1ES Telephone 01539 445 801 Email [email protected] Web Site http://www.visionhotels.co.uk
