Greece To Promote Its Best At Trade Fair For Senior Citizens

Greek tourism enterprises are getting ready to promote their services to senior tourists this October at the upcoming tourism fair “Senior,” the biggest fair in Sweden for an active older audience.

Oslo-based communication agency North Events will be Greece’s sole representative at the fair and will host a booth showcasing tourism businesses (hotels), popular Greek destinations and tourism services.

“Senior” will take place 15-17 October 2013 at the Stockholmsmassan exhibition center.

Senior tourism on the up

Senior citizens and pensioners compose a very promising travel market as they are said to have a stable and high income and plenty of free time for leisure and activities.

According to HUI Research, age groups over 55 years are often neglected as potential consumers although they have the highest purchasing power.

A study conducted by the Research Institute for Tourism (ITEP), had said that senior tourism could develop into an essential factor for the lengthening of the tourism season in Greece. ITEP said that by 2030, senior tourists will constitute 24 percent of the international tourism market.
