Kick off 2025 with a session led by Sophie Morgan—renowned disability campaigner, travel writer, broadcaster, and a proud mentor for The Conscious Travel Foundation. Sophie, a wheelchair user since the age of 18, is a trailblazer in championing inclusive travel and, as she turns 40 this year, she’s embarking on an extraordinary mission — seeking out 40 life-changing travel experiences designed to showcase what’s possible when inclusivity and creativity lead the way.
Fresh from her transformative trip to New Zealand with TCTF member DMC Ahipara, Sophie and the Ahipara team will take us behind the scenes of her adventure. How did Ahipara craft an itinerary that balanced her needs with the spirit of exploration? What challenges arose, and how were they overcome? And which local partners helped create a seamless and unforgettable experience? This is your chance to discover how businesses like yours can adopt a bespoke, tailor-made approach to inclusive travel design.
Sophie's adventures are a testament to what happens when travel is reimagined through a different lens—one that listens to disabled clients, partners with the right suppliers, and turns accessibility into an opportunity for innovation. Her insights will inspire travel businesses of all kinds to think bigger, bolder, and more inclusively, proving that there’s no reason any business can’t follow suit.
But that’s not all—Sophie will also update us on the progress of the global Rights on Flight campaign, highlighting key advancements in the aviation sector for disabled travelers. Plus, hear about her consultancy services and how she can offer expert advice on designing, marketing, and delivering transformative, accessible trips that leave a lasting legacy of inclusion.
As Sophie prepares to write the next chapter of her remarkable journey, she’s looking for inspiration. Have a destination, person, or experience in mind for her 40 life-changing adventures? Share your ideas and be part of the movement to redefine adventure without limits.
