From Whitley Bay to the World: Travel Agent Brings Accessibility and Expertise to Local Holidaymakers

A Whitley Bay travel agent is making the world more accessible and bringing holiday industry leaders to the town to help people chose their ideal holiday. 

Destinations by John, an ABTA Bonded independent travel agency led by John Dixon, is hosting The Holiday Show, a vibrant travel expo designed to inspire everyone to explore the world including those with disabilities.

This year, The Holiday Show proudly features 26 top travel suppliers across the two foyer floors of Whitley Bay Playhouse. From household names like Riviera Travel and Newmarket Holidays to leading cruise lines including Fred Olsen and Ambassador Cruise Line, there’s something for every traveller.

A key highlight of the event is the participation of Enable Holidays, specialists in creating accessible travel experiences. 

John was particularly keen to include Enable as he explains: “For too long, disabled travellers have faced unnecessary barriers to enjoying holidays. Companies like Enable Holidays breaks down those barriers by offering comprehensive services, including adapted rooms, airport assistance, and tailored transfers, ensuring every detail is taken care of.

“We believe that everyone deserves the chance to create unforgettable memories, regardless of ability,” said John. “Enable Holidays’ expertise and dedication to accessible travel shines a light on the power of the ‘disabled pound’ and the importance of providing opportunities for all travellers to explore the world with confidence.”

Disabled travellers are a vital and often underserved segment of the travel market. The Holiday Show seeks to make inclusivity a priority, ensuring that the travel industry meets the needs of all individuals, from families to solo adventurers.

The event takes place on Sunday, February 2nd between 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM on two floors at the Whitley Bay Playhouse with free tickets reserved in advance on
