Outcome
Traveling is an excellent pastime for the older generation, which allows you to see a lot of unusual and interesting things, bring variety to your life, meet new friends, and experience vivid emotions.
The standard stereotype of a retired summer resident in slippers, surrounded in the summer by a flock of grandchildren, abandoned by progressive and active parents, is gradually beginning to give way to another image. The modern elderly person tries to keep up with the advancing age as long as possible and occupies a quite active place in the cohort of Russian tourists. Wise with experience and years, he chooses for himself special retirement tours - calm, comfortable and pleasant.
In the velvet season
Popular trips to the sea are not alien to tourists of the golden age. But they tend to the beaches closer to autumn, when the heat subsides, and the hustle and bustle on the embankments becomes less. Beach retirement tours are Crimea or Sochi at the end of August and September, overseas Turkey and Cyprus, blessed Greece and Italy, which is already cool at this time of the year.
The peculiarity of retirement tours is that it is not a very long flight. It is not too easy for middle-aged people to endure the change of time zones and get used to the new regime, and therefore their tourist destinations are countries and resorts located no more than three to four hours of flight.
The cost of retirement tours at sea also plays a significant role. When the peak of the summer heat subsides, prices tend to go down, and an elderly person will not have to shell out significant funds for a trip.
European values
As part of popular retirement tours, you can fulfill an old dream and touch the world's cultural values. The best museums in Europe are just a few hours away. You can get to the Old World quite comfortably by train, if your health does not allow you to be in the sky.
Having the opportunity to go on a trip at any time and not depending on the vacation schedule, elderly travelers have every chance to choose the most favorable tour conditions - inexpensive tickets, discounts on hotels and tickets to museums.
Along the native land
For retirement tours, Russia has been and remains one of the most popular destinations. You do not need a passport and knowledge of a foreign language, you do not have to change currency and you can always call children inexpensively. In my native country, the weather and cuisine, music and shops are familiar.
Pension tours in Russia are a huge selection of a wide variety of directions and methods of travel. Here and cruises on motor ships along the Volga and other large rivers, excursions along the Golden Ring, trips to St. Petersburg and the capital, rest at tourist centers and in sanatoriums of the central strip.
