ADE ADEPITAN SPEAKS ON ACCESSIBLE TRAVEL

ADE ADEPITAN DISCUSSES ‘SPAIN FOR ALL’ WITH TTG MEDIA

‘Spain for All’ ambassador, Ade Adepitan, meets with TTG's Daniel Pearce to discuss what accessible travel means in 2024. In the interview, part of TTG's Fairer Travel Month in July, Ade highlights the spending power the disabled community has in the UK, which he argues is not being capitalised upon successfully within the industry.  He touches on key issues facing accessible travel, including the dangerous assumption that all people with disabilities are one homogeneous group, the importance of catering to families with members with  disabilities,  and how to give the travel industry the tools to better cater to people with disability needs. 

Ade Adepitan, British television presenter and wheelchair basketball player, is the official ambassador for ‘Spain for All’, a campaign from the Spanish Tourist Office underlining the country’s commitment to improving accessibility and social inclusivity within the travel and tourism sector. Adepitan has spent significant time in Spain having lived in Zaragoza and has travelled the length and breadth of the country both personally and professionally. His ambassadorship role includes consultancy services for the advisory panel, personal feedback on his own experiences of travelling around the country as a wheelchair user, and endorsement of the campaign.
