This investment is not only a game-changer for our business, but also for disability travel as a whole. It will allow us to further enhance the quality and range of our holidays, expand into new products and destinations, and accelerate our international growth. Accessible travel should never be an afterthought, it’s one of the largest and fastest-growing sectors in the industry. DIsabled travellers, and their families and companions deserve nothing but the best, and that is what Limitless provides. With the support of our investors, we’re now in the strongest position yet to lead the charge and show the world the true power of disability travel."
