Senior travelers should learn which vacation spots should be avoided. For example, Cancun during spring break is definitely not the place a senior wants to be. A senior needs to find the best senior friendly destinations to choose for their vacation.
Tips
- Pick a spot that is well known for being senior friendly. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, offers seniors who purchase vacation homes in their town a property tax break. Also, the golf in the area is a draw for seniors.
- Look for destinations that offer discounts to senior travels. For example, certain cruise lines have specials that give seniors a discounted rate when they book a cruise.
- Book a smaller hotel or inn. Destinations that have a large number of bed and breakfasts and inns are ideal for the senior traveler. Look to areas like Vermont or upstate New York as your vacation spot.
- Consider Florida for a senior friendly destination. Florida is a very senior friendly area, especially in the winter months. Some favorite places of seniors in Florida include Winter Haven, Amelia Island and Fort Myers.
