DOUG SMITH

I am a full-time wheelchair, having been born with Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus.

My working background is in administration, however, most recently, I have been working within the cruise sector of the travel and tourism industry, selling cruise holidays and ancillary products (flights, transfers, pre/post cruise hotel stays and land tours) to travel agents and members of the general public alike, some of whom, like me, have a disABILITY of one kind or another.

Due to ill health, I had to leave the cruise industry, and during my long recovery, I wrote and published my book "The disABILITY To Cruise?", in which I give readers all the information required for them to decide whether or not, a cruise holiday is right for them, irrespective of whether or not they have a disABILITY. I have also set up a website to promote my book. The website is: www.thedisabilitytocruise.com
