Vacations for Senior Citizens


Vacations are a time for relaxation, rejuvenation, and exploration. They provide a much-needed break from your daily routine and transport you to a world of new sights, sounds, and experiences. For senior citizens, vacations can be just what the doctor ordered – especially if you are traveling as a couple, in a travel group, or with your extended family.

To find out more, we reached out to a group of senior citizens who are between 60 and 70 years old – some of these people are still active on the travel and vacation circuit. As we have done in our previous interviews, talking to customers and potential customers can give us useful insights on senior citizens and vacations. (Where they go, what they do, and what they look for at a vacation resort.)
