With the help of our members and users of our services Arthritis Care has been able to get an insight into the needs of people with arthritis with regards to taking holidays and short breaks. It was done through a survey.
The survey was carried out online and by mail with people in contact with Arthritis Care either as members or people who visit our website.
The aim of the survey was to identify the needs of people with arthritis when booking holidays.
In particular it looked at:
- what type of holidays are being taken
- their specific needs such as facilities, services
- how they source information.
Key findings
People with arthritis are moving away from wanting ‘arthritis only’ services – they are looking to the mainstream market with adaptations
There are differences in holiday needs according to age. Older people have a specific set of needs – mainly UK breaks, group holidays, off-peak travel, arthritis specific services
Younger people with arthritis:
- use online facilities for research and bookings
- like recommendations from others with arthritis
- use online discussion forums.
