Glad to know that Scotland has policies for the disabled. We need more of this in Brazil. Recently we’ve been finding our hotels for the disabled in Brazil via http://mercadohoteis.com/ but it really is tough using inadequate search systems. I wish more hotel sites offered special search functionality for the disabled.
I think none reservation website hosting Brazilian has a quality rating Accessibility. To solve this, I am trying to deploy a quality certification in affordability, which will serve to hotels, restaurants, tourist attractions, among others.
