Dementia-Friendly

Last week VisitEngland and VisitScotland launched their dementia-friendly tourism guides and at the same time we also launched our own new dementia filter for reviews on Euan’s Guide.

Tourism Guides

These VisitEngland and VisitScotland guides are designed to help tourism businesses be more welcoming to customers living with dementia. The guides have been launched in partnership with Alzheimer’s Society and are filled with top tips and case studies as well as signposting readers to other useful resources.

There are 850,000 people living with dementia in the UK. It is important to consider that visitors with dementia may not have the confidence to travel, they may find it hard to communicate in a noisy environment and may become disorientated when navigating new places or long routes. The guides highlight some of the actions businesses can take to reduce these barriers and create a welcoming environment.
