SENIOR TOURISM. CHARACTERISTICS AND FACILITIES
Abstract
The tourism and hospitality industry is a very dynamic one, with rapid changes and with trends that have to be taken into consideration for assuring good services according to the needs of tourists. One of the most important trends exhibited lately is senior tourism. The reality is that the population in developed countries is aging, and the same trend can be noticed in Middle and Eastern countries. There is a growing market for senior tourism and the organizations in the field have to adjust their activities to offer services and facilities appropriate for seniors. This paper seeks to present the general framework of senior tourism and the general conditions for developing tourism activity for seniors. The case study is based on research conducted in Germany by the authors in which we focused on identification of the main conditions and facilities that must exist at the level of an organization to offer services to seniors.
