With the improvement of life quality, more and more elderly people like to travel. Travel can relax, get rid of troubles, enhance physical and mental health, exercise, and broaden our horizons. Experts suggest that because this group is older and has limited energy and physical strength, it is necessary to choose appropriate time, travel and transportation before traveling to avoid unnecessary injuries.
At present, travel agencies have customized some suitable routes for the elderly, which are relatively easy and safe, and some will be accompanied by professional medical staff. If you choose to join a general tour group, you should carefully consider the time, place, itinerary, transportation and other factors.
In terms of time, the elderly should try to avoid traveling in the peak tourist season, and can choose April to June and September to October. Because the weather is comfortable in both the north and the south during this period, it is not easy to motivate the elderly to get sick.
From the perspective of location, the elderly should give more consideration to the geography, climate, accommodation, food conditions, etc. of the tourist destination, and can choose general sightseeing groups, such as one-day rural tours, mountain tours, and tours to historic cities and coastal cities. It is better not to try to go to high altitude areas or areas involving mountaineering, wading and other projects.
From the perspective of itinerary, it is better not to choose a itinerary that is too far away and has too many scenic spots. You should also try to have more rest at night and not be too excited. During this period, some interest exchange meetings and health preserving symposiums can be arranged.
From the perspective of traffic, it is better to take a plane or train to save time and avoid travel fatigue. However, if you have serious respiratory diseases, heart disease, etc., you'd better consider taking a plane carefully. It is suggested that the elderly should try not to travel by themselves.
