| Résumé : | tourism providers and policy-makers face significant challenges in providing holidays for seniors.Based on a large database from a research project in Wallonia (Belgium) implemented from 2015till 2018, the study identifies the different types of holiday arrangements and activities associatedwith the benefits of holidays, largely in terms of wellbeing. It then examines whether they areage-related or not, and if so how, and how they can inform social tourism policies that targetseniors. Data from the sample of 4144 respondents show a variety of age-related significant associations,with thresholds at retirement and after the age of 70. The study examines these associationsin the context of various social theories of ageing and sets out the implications forsocial tourism policy-makers and providers. |
