Senior Tourism: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Aging and Traveling
Simone Francescato (editor), Roberta Maierhofer (editor), Valeria Minghetti (editor), Eva-Maria Trinkaus (editor)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 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 traveling elderly in literature, film and media, and the influence of travel on late-life creativity.
