Virgin Holidays Offer Complimentary Beach Wheelchairs
Dépèche transmise le 30 août 2011 par PRNewswire
LONDON, August 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --
Virgin Holidays [http://www.virginholidays.co.uk ] is delighted to announce a new complimentary service for their customers - beach wheelchairs. Available in selected hotels in Antigua, Barbados and St Lucia, these specially designed chairs allow customers who have walking difficulties or are wheelchair user's, easy access onto the beach and into the ocean. These tricked-out chairs come complete with extra chunky beach-friendly wheels, sunshades and storage for beach essentials.
Virgin Holidays employee Nicola Davis, herself a wheelchair user, came up with the idea after visiting the Caribbean on holiday. "I have used beach wheelchairs in Florida for many years and then I travelled to the Caribbean and found out that none of the hotels offered them. I really missed being able to spend time on the beach with my children and realised that many people were missing out on one of the most important parts of a Caribbean holiday." The chairs were developed in partnership with Aqua Creek Products and have been getting rave reviews from the first customers that have used them, giving a liberating freedom to move around the beautiful Caribbean beaches with ease.
The beach wheelchairs are available to Virgin Holidays guests at the Almond Beach Village [http://www.virginholidays.co.uk/brochures/caribbean/holidays/caribbean/barbados/almond_beach_village ] , Almond Casuarina [http://www.virginholidays.co.uk/brochures/caribbean/holidays/caribbean/barbados/almond_casuarina_beach ] and Almond Beach Club [http://www.virginholidays.co.uk/brochures/caribbean/holidays/caribbean/barbados/almond_beach_club__spa ] in Barbados, St Lucian by Rex [http://www.virginholidays.co.uk/brochures/caribbean/holidays/caribbean/st_lucia/st_lucian_by_rex_resorts_all_inclusive ] , St Lucia and the Jolly Beach in Antigua [http://www.virginholidays.co.uk/brochures/caribbean/holidays/caribbean/antigua/jolly_beach_resort__spa ] , and are pre-bookable through the Virgin Holidays Special Assistance Team.
