From 1st October 2004, the third phase of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) becomes law, which means that all service providers will be expected to take reasonable steps to remove, alter or avoid features that make it unreasonably difficult for disabled people to use a service, or where that is impossible, to provide the service by a reasonable alternative method. This will result in an increase in provision throughout the UK for those with all kinds of disability.

This is very much welcomed by VisitScotland who, while not in a position to enforce the requirements of the DDA, will strenuously encourage tourism operators to do all they can and to give visitors information on what is available.
