British Academy has just founded a research project on impacts of social tourism, to develop by a research team lead by Dr. Scott Mcabe (Univ. of Nottingham). The project aim to analyze the role of social tourism as a development driver. Considering the highly complex society we leave; given the economic crisis during the las decade; and given the responsibility of the public authorities (in welfare states), opinions and contributions would be very wellcome about the role of social tourism (specifically, old-age tourism) in our society. I would be specially interested in the economic implications of such public support to social tourism. In Spain, such support has decreased during las decades, and old-age tourism destinations are noting that decreasing. Thanks for your contributions!
When I worked in tourism in New Zealand in the late 1990s there was a strong old-age segment serviced by the industry. I am no longer either in tourism or in NZ but I am sure there will still be businesses specifically servicing travelling seniors. I know there were tours designed solely for 70+ yr old participants around the country. Try Real Journeys company if you cannot find any more specific companies. Good luck.
