How families navigate vacation planning when skin conditions limit activities

Our family is planning a beach vacation but my brother has vitiligo and doesn't want to go anywhere that involves swimming or sun exposure, and the rest of us feel awful about either excluding him or changing plans that everyone else was excited about. We keep having these conversations where everyone says 'whatever works for everyone' but nobody is actually saying what they want or need.

What we've seen

Family activities become complicated when one member's skin condition requires accommodations that affect everyone's plans, but no one wants to voice their true preferences.
