A website to inform travellers about disability access at English hotels and attractions has been launched by Tourism for All UK in partnership with VisitEngland, at the House of Lords.

The OpenBritain.net website will also help business in England reach out to the lucrative accessible tourism market.

Speaking at the launch Paralympian Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson said the website would mean people with disabilities would no longer have to "make do" with their travel choices.

"I hope that every hotel, attraction and restaurant in Britain will take advantage of the chance to easily promote their facilities to disabled travellers."
