Advice for Disabled Tourbox clients

Special Needs Tourism in Turkey:

3rd July 2005.

Much of Antalya and the surrounding mediterranean regions do not have the infrastructure that many disabled, handicapped, or special needs tourists would be used to in Western Europe or the USA for example. However, awareness is growing, and increasingly more hotels and resorts are catering for special needs.

Unfortunately, at present, these tend to be the more expensive hotels and resorts, but if you are on a budget you should contact us and we can advice you of hotels with easy access ramps and lifts.

The larger resorts and hotels have wheelchair access and facilities as good as any in the world, with purpose built suites with bathrooms and toilets for the handicapped and physically disabled.

Tourbox Antalya are not a specialist tour operator for special needs groups. However, if you are interested in coming to Turkey if you wold like more information about our hotels with facilities for special needs tourists, please contact us. We will do our best to advise you.
