OREANDA-NEWS In Russia, an increase in "silver tourism" has been recorded — this is the name given to the direction by older travelers. Recently, tourists over the age of 60 are increasingly making long trips and traveling to different cities far from home, Turprom writes.

Silver Tourism has become one of the fastest growing destinations on the market, which has attracted the attention of the authorities and private companies. The growing interest of the older generation in travel was associated with an increase in their life expectancy, as well as an increase in the well-being of pensioners.

At the same time, unlike young people, it is not the number of places visited that is more important for older travelers, but the quality of the impressions they receive.

Analysts note that silver tourism is characterized by destinations that combine comfort, safety, and the availability of medical care.

Earlier, a Russian woman described a vacation in Tunisia with the phrase "even pensioners are bored." According to her, the lack of infrastructure is especially repulsive.
