Plan an Accessible Holiday for a Family Member With Mobility Needs
A hotel that calls itself accessible and a hotel that actually is are not always the same thing. The five questions that distinguish them are not on the booking page. Planning a holiday for a group with mixed mobility needs requires a different approach from the standard itinerary: understanding what to ask before booking, how to balance the group's wishes, and what to sort out before departure rather than after arrival.

**Build an accessible holiday plan:**
1. Identify the five questions to ask when booking any accommodation to verify accessibility rather than relying on the label "accessible" alone
2. Describe the transport considerations: what to check when booking flights, trains, or car hire for a traveller with these specific needs
3. Design the day-planning approach: how to balance what different members of the group want to do when not everything is accessible to everyone
4. Identify two destinations (or destination types) that are consistently good for this type of mobility need and one that is commonly disappointing despite its reputation
5. Describe the one thing to organise before departure that most travellers with mobility needs learn the hard way
</task>
