Can an 80-year-old man travel with a group?

The travel service standards for the elderly of travel agencies clearly stipulate that the age of tourists shall not be restricted and the elderly shall not be refused to join the group. Elderly tourists refer to consumers over 60 years old. Travel agencies should communicate and negotiate with insurance companies on the upper age limit of travel accident insurance, and collect detailed information of elderly tourists, including personal health status, communication methods and emergency contact information. Older tourists should sign their names in person, and older tourists over 75 years old should ask their adult immediate family members to sign their names, preferably accompanied by adult family members.

In order to ensure the safety of the elderly, the Code requires that a tour guide/leader with professional skills such as emergency physical rescue, general medical knowledge, at least 3 years of tour guide experience and meticulous and patient service should be selected. Chartered flight, chartered ships, special tourist trains and elderly tour groups with more than 100 people should be equipped with so-called accompanying doctors to provide health care knowledge and emergency assistance to elderly tourists.

Matters needing attention in group travel for the elderly:

1. Do a physical examination before going out: the elderly should pay attention to food hygiene when traveling with a group, avoid eating unsanitary and unqualified food and drinks, and do not drink spring water, pond water or river water. Eat a light diet, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and don't eat heartless food and drinks. You'd better bring your own tableware and cups when you go out. You shouldn't eat too many local snacks at once. The elderly should choose a light diet, moderate diet and proper conditioning, so that their physical and mental health can be guaranteed.

2. The elderly are not greedy for cheap travel: most elderly people are more sensitive to prices and like more affordable tourism products. Some travel agencies attract elderly tourists at low prices, but this is actually to save costs, but it will miss many service experiences. The most important thing for the elderly is to change their view of tourism, accept the concept of high quality and good price, and enjoy the fun of going out to play. Therefore, when traveling for the elderly, don't be greedy for petty gain, choose low-priced tour groups, and sign up for tour groups, especially those with low-priced shopping groups.

3. Choose the tour group carefully and buy insurance: choose a regular travel agency, sign a contract, read the terms carefully, and ensure that the additional terms are agreed with the travel agency separately. Especially for the elderly over 70 years old, they need to pay more attention to insurance issues and buy travel insurance to deal with accidental injuries. You can consult a tour guide or travel agency for related insurance issues. Buying insurance just in case can ensure the travel safety of the elderly.
