Following on from yesterday’s niche business idea, TravelEyes is another business built to serve the needs of people with a specific disability – providing ‘sensory experience’ holiday packages for the blind and visually impaired.
The company was founded by visually impaired traveller Amar Latif, after he found the limitations of other travel packages frustrating.
The concept is based on sighted and non-sighted holidaymakers travelling together in a group. Sighted travellers are paired with a blind or visually impaired partner (with partnerships changing daily) and receive a discount on their travel. They act as ‘a friend, fellow holidaymaker and guide, but not a ‘carer”.
It’s a seemingly simple solution to the problem faced by a well-defined market. Just what a niche business should be.
