HF Holidays, the award-winning walking and special interest holiday operator, has just announced a partnership with blind TV personality and adventurer Amar Latif OBE, and Founder of world-unique commercial tour operator Traveleyes, which provides multi-sensory group holidays for both blind and sighted travellers.
From Spring 2024, HF Holidays will power Traveleyes itineraries in the UK, Europe and Worldwide, to offer a range of exciting new adventures and shared travel experiences for both blind and sighted people travelling together.
David Harrington, CEO of HF Holidays, said: “We are honoured to join forces with Amar Latif and his company, Traveleyes, to continue their groundbreaking work in challenging preconceptions surrounding vision-impaired travel and provide greater inclusivity to travel experiences. Here at HF Holidays, we are excited to learn from operating and powering the Traveleyes product whilst providing our group walking holiday expertise to Traveleyes.”
Amar Latif, Founder of Traveleyes, commented: “I launched Traveleyes in 2004 after I tried to book myself onto group holidays and faced rejection after rejection by travel companies who wouldn’t accept me as an independent blind traveller. I realised that If I wanted to travel to work for me, I had to change how travel works, and so I set up an international tour operator that takes blind and fully sighted people around the world together to share the adventure.”
Amar added: “I wanted to create holidays with a difference for both blind and sighted travellers to engage and stimulate all the senses. With Traveleyes, fully-sighted travellers guide and describe the sights for our visually impaired holidaymakers and in return they receive a discount, as well as enjoy a sociable, sensory holiday experience. I’m delighted about our partnership with HF Holidays which means that Traveleyes continues to move forward and expand, opening up more of the world to all our customers and helping them create more shared memories whilst enjoying the HF Holidays’ ethos of fun, friendship, fellowship and fresh air.”
