Senior Tourism: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Aging and TravelingPaperback, 27 August 2017

This volume aims to bridge the disciplinary gap between tourism studies and aging studies. It investigates the intersections of tourism and aging from a variety of perspectives, with a focus on the many ways in which senior tourism is socially constructed and individually experienced. The essays tackle key topics ranging from the socio-economic aspects of post-retirement travel to the representations of the traveling elderly in literature, film, and media, and the influence of travel on late-life creativity.
