What should the elderly pay attention to when traveling?

1. Physical examination.

Be sure to plan travel routes rationally before elderly people go out for travel. You must go to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination, and then choose travel destinations and detailed itinerary arrangements based on your physical condition. Arrange your travel schedule appropriately. Don't force it. It is best to travel together or be accompanied by family members.

2. Time planning.

Be sure to choose the best travel season before traveling. It is best for the elderly to take the initiative to avoid peak periods such as the peak tourist season and Golden Week when traveling. This can avoid the danger of crowding and travel in the off-season. You can also save on air tickets, accommodation and other expenses. Moreover, for the elderly, it is not suitable to travel when the weather is too cold or too hot, so the best time is spring and autumn. The warmth of spring and the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus are the best times for elderly people to travel.

3. Selection of attractions.

For the elderly, mountain climbing and strenuous exercise are not suitable. Therefore, in addition to choosing new places that they are interested in and have never been to, the elderly must also consider the environment and environment of the destination. Depending on the ease of the itinerary, the best travel time is one week. For example, go to West Lake in Zhejiang, Taihu Lake in Wuxi, and classical gardens in Suzhou. The scenery here is charming and you will not be too tired.

4. Prepare before traveling.

Before traveling, the elderly should understand the local weather conditions and prepare appropriate clothing according to the weather and temperature. No matter where they travel, the elderly should wear soft and comfortable casual shoes or sports shoes. It is best to bring commonly used medicines, motion sickness medicine, cold medicine, etc. Patients with high blood pressure should not forget to bring antihypertensive medicine; those with heart problems should bring Jiuxin Dan or Suxiao Jiuxin Pill.

5. Personal safety.

Elderly people should mainly eat light meals during travel, eat less instant noodles and more fruits and vegetables to prevent constipation. You should take your valuables with you, and be sure to check carefully when checking out to see if there are anything left in the bathroom, drawers, or under the pillow. In addition, do not give the bag to others for safekeeping casually. Buy insurance before traveling just in case. For senior groups, the most important thing is to buy travel accident insurance.
