Description

This volume aims to bridge the disciplinary gap between tourism studies and ageing studies. It investigates the intersections of tourism and ageing from a variety of perspectives that focus on the many ways in which senior tourism is socially constructed and/or individually experienced.

The essays tackle key topics ranging from the socio-economic aspects of post-retirement travel to the representations of the travelling elderly in literature, film, and media, and the influence of travel on late-life creativity.
