The country has promulgated new travel regulations for people over 60. Why has the country paid more and more attention to old-age tourism in recent years?

Because in recent years, the number of elderly people traveling abroad is increasing, which has attracted the attention of the state. For the elderly, once it was launched, it caused a heated discussion. Most citizens said that it is discriminatory to sign when the elderly over 75 travel. The travel agency also said that it is difficult to implement the regulations of accompanying doctors, among which the clause that elderly tourists over 60 should require adult immediate family members to sign is the most dissatisfied with the public. And now most travel agencies have set an age threshold, refusing to accept the elderly or asking for an exemption agreement. For 75-year-old people, travel is a threshold.

Over 60 years old need to be accompanied by immediate family members, and over 70 years old are not accepted. Although the old man repeatedly said that he was in good health, the staff still said that the regulations could not be changed. Older tourists over the age of 60 ask adult immediate family members to sign, which is intended to avoid risks and reduce the problems that may be caused by the participation of the elderly. However, this means that the elderly who have lost their independence and loneliness can't travel with the group in the future. Some lawyers also pointed out that this clause violates the personal wishes of the elderly to a certain extent.

In order to control the cost, most sunset tour groups in China only have tour guides and tour leaders, without accompanying doctors. How to upgrade and improve products has a direction, and for the public, how to choose elderly tourism products has a bottom in mind. These are all good changes.

In some large travel agencies, according to the pain points and special needs of the elderly, the standards for elderly travel have been formulated, including "the leader must be a company star leader." Need a first aid certificate ","it is best not to pull a cart for more than 2 hours at a time "and" food is mainly hot food ". In the future, in view of the clause that "100 or more elderly people need to be accompanied by doctors", large groups will be divided into several small groups, and the elderly can play more easily. However, this series of changes also need the support of insurance companies and tourists.
