Sandra and I are absolutely on the same wavelength in terms of appreciating the potential in accessibility tourism. People with additional needs have great spending power globally and any nation who recognises this fact and does something about it has the potential to generate high revenue as a consequence. I recommend you are guided by Sandra's thinking and actions.
