TUI is sponsoring the Travel For Every Body Awards for the second year running and joins this year as a Gold sponsor.

TUI is known for its commitment to accessible travel and has a dedicated Assisted Travel Team of experts to help book holidays for those with access needs.

The operator has partnered with AccessAble to create Detailed Access Guides for its most popular hotels and selected hotels and destinations offer accessible transfers and experiences.

On the high street, TUI stores have sensory rooms, SEN trained-staff, and neuro-friendly shopping hours.

Among the company’s awards, it has won Disability Smart Winner for the most inclusive customer experience.

On the decision to sponsor the Travel For Every Body Awards again in 2026, a spokesperson said: “We’re proud to be sponsoring the Travel For Every Body Awards for a second year because they shine a light on the importance of making travel more accessible and inclusive for everyone.

“At TUI, we believe holidays should be available to all, and we’re committed to removing barriers and improving the travel experience for customers with a wide range of access needs. Supporting these awards is a great opportunity to celebrate the people and organisations helping to drive positive change across the industry.”

As a Gold Sponsor, TUI will sponsor a specific category in the awards and a senior representative from the airline will present the award to the winner at a ceremony in Manchester on October 1.

Entries have now closed for this year’s awards and judging will begin later in August.

The expert judging panel includes TV presenter and accessibility advocate Sophie Morgan; Founder of Wheelie Good Travel, Jonathan Fletcher; Dr Emma Partlow, CEO, National Centre for Accessible Transport; Paula Hansen, Founder, World Accessible Holidays; Dr Amo Raju, writer, disability charity specialist and influencer; Yousif Nur, Founder of Journeyease; Lady Tina Reading, Editor at Lube Media and accessibility consultant; and Jesús Ruiz, Head of Sustainability and Impact, Turespaña.

Visit New York State will be the Headline Sponsor for this year’s Travel For Every Body Awards, while the Spanish Tourist Office and TUI, which both supported the inaugural awards in 2025, have signed up again as Gold Sponsors. United has come onboard this year as a Silver sponsor.
