Today retirement is no longer considered a bane. In fact, after years of hand- holding kids, routine office humdrums and a stressful life, senior citizens take retirement with a brush of pleasantries and look forward to a new ‘journey.’
Senior citizens no longer want to sit on rocking chairs or stare at traffic go by from their balconies. In the age of technology and the e-world they are as connected to the new trends and want to get on to the express way and make it their new way of life. These groups of Active Silvers are adventurous and open to explore new and exotic destinations and engage in varied experiences that would be thrilling and fulfilling.
Over the recent years, the travel trend graph has shown a huge rise in the number of seniors vacationing overseas. They have now become the new globetrotters eager to see the world.
