Accessibility in the world

ASIA    /    EUROPE    /    AFRICA    /     AMERICA    /    CARIBBEAN    /    OCEANIA

Just my travel impression. Big cities and villages are different. Please read this easygoing, not so seriously. 

 Australia
   2008, 2013, 2016

 

Compared with New Zealand, Australia is not so good accessibility. They like regulations to make barriers to  do something for wheelchairs. For example, I could not use all the ride in Movie World theme park because of evacuation problem. Rental car company does not allow me to put my own portable hand control. Low cost airline discriminate non-walk passengers and sometime they refuse person with disability to use by themselves. Actually, the facility and towns are quite accessible. I felt some heart barrier.    

 Fiji
   2016
Fiji airways Nadi airport is the hub in south Pacific area. Good service at airport. They have boarding bridge, aisle chair, special care attendant services. Some good hotels have a wheelchair accessible room, but it was not perfect. Road was not good for walking on wheelchair.

 Kiribati
   2016
Almost nothing about wheelchair accessibility. No aisle chair at airport. Simple life in small islands Pacific Ocean. Land is quite flat.

 Marshall Islands
   2016
Like USA. The accessibility is very good compared with their economy size. All building have a ramp at entrance. There are some large toilets in public. Boarding ramp and aisle chair at airport. Many many shared taxis (sedan or wagon) run in town. It is easy to use and costs very cheep. 

 

 Nauru
   2016
Just visited for transit. Nauru airline was good. Boarding lift is available at airport.

 New Zealand
   2008, 2011
Perfect. One of the best accessible country in the world. All the gas station has an accessible toilet which are not special but enough space. Road are very smooth. So kind for human. Many hotel and motel have accessible rooms. The bathroom are large and with a shower chair.

 

 Papua New Guinea
   2013
No accessibility. Simple life there. No taxi except capital. I did not see any wheelchair facility. Shared mini-bus is transportation. Only stairs to domestic airplanes, but kind stuff helped me. There are boarding bridge at international terminal.  

 

 Samoa
   2019
Slow life. Mild and kind people. No lower floor buses. Not good road condition and side walks. New airport opened in 2018  is wheelchair accessible.

 

 Solomon Islands
   2016
No accessibility but airport has a boarding lift. Many fish at market. It seems not easy to travel outside capital for wheelchair users.

 

 Tonga
   2019
No trash on street. Clean country. Lovely people. New port built by Japanese government financial support is wheelchair accessible. Airport is quite small. .

 

 Vanuatu
   2019
Many Australian tourists and cruise ship tourist at capital. Tourist area is well organized and some wheelchair accessible. Airport is fine. Simple nature life outside capital.
