Not-for-profit hotel operator launched
POSTED 01 Jul 2010 . BY Pete Hayman
National sight loss charity Action for Blind People has announced the launch of a new not-for-profit hotel operator to offer accessible breaks for disabled people.

Vision Hotels currently manages four hotels across England, adjusted to incorporate wet rooms and textured surfaces and including facilities such as talking alarm clocks, large button phones and dog areas.

The four properties operated by the group are located in Teignmouth, Devon; Aldwick, near Bognor Regis, West Sussex; Lake Windemere, Cumbria; and Weston-super-Mare, Somerset.

Vision Hotels head Paul Morrison said: "Accessibility is continually ignored within the sector and we can prove that simple adaptations can make a big difference and in turn, increase guest numbers.

"We have the same aims as anyone else in the catering and hospitality sector: to provide an excellent level of service that makes our customers re-book time and time again."
