Charity offers innovative service for visually impaired holidaymakers 


A range of escorted and supported group holidays for visually impaired people has been launched by national charity Vitalise.

 At the same time the charity is offering ‘voluntourism’ opportunities to sighted people of all ages and backgrounds.

 As it launches its new worldwide range of group holidays for visually impaired people, Vitalise is calling for gap year students, retired people and anyone else keen to volunteer their energy and enthusiasm to act as sighted holiday guides.

 Grand tours including New Zealand, Peru, China, South Africa and the American West Coast are among the far-flung holidays offered in the new brochure, launched this month. In Europe, Vitalise will take groups to destinations including Russia, Tuscany, Turkey, Croatia and Spain in search of inspiration and excitement. Closer to home, Vitalise is also offering a range of holidays across the UK.

 The holidays on offer range from outward-bound adventure treks, through tours and cruises, to cultural and city breaks.
