More travel choices for the over 50’s

3rd August 2009 Print
Holiday choices for over 50’s are no longer limited to walking round and round the worlds’ largest cruise ship or standing in a uniform line of old timers waiting to be packed into a double-decker tour bus.

50 is the new 40 and with early retirement becoming much more common in today’s society, people are keen to use their hard-earned cash and enjoy it whilst still physically and mentally active.

With unique holiday experiences equipped for all ages, learning holiday specialists GoLearnTo.com fully understand the human intuition of wanting to learn whilst having fun.

Over 50’s account for 40% of average consumer spending and hold 80% of the UK’s wealth, showing that people are becoming more and more keen to spend on themselves to really enjoy life whilst they can. 85% of all travellers over 50 travel solo and find active holidays the ideal way to meet like-minded people who love to share their curiosity of the world with others.

Expert psychologist Britta van Dyk shares his opinion: “Being mentally, physically and socially stimulated has significant benefits to those getting older. One of the best ways to do this is to do something that combines these three factors – a learning holiday is the perfect answer”. And actions definitely speak louder than words as one third of GoLearnTo.com’s new customers are over 50 proving the increasing trend of new-age mature travellers who are looking for something totally different to the mundane all-inclusive holidays and cruises around the Caribbean.

To name just a few of the innovative selection that GoLearnTo.com has on offer where ‘Never too old’ definitely springs to mind:
