Social tourism programmes for seniors: the case study of Slovenia.

Abstract

Abstract This chapter presents the social tourism programmes for seniors in Slovenia by focusing on three aspects: (i) What programmes, identifiable within the framework of social tourism, exist in Slovenia? (ii) What adjustments do they include to enable seniors to take part? And (iii) what are the benefits of such programmes? The programmes were analysed in two ways: (i) through the analysis of secondary sources, i.e. review of programme webpages and various data provided by programme organizers in the form of reports; and (ii) through a qualitative survey of key stakeholders in the field of social tourism for seniors. The chapter concludes by presenting perspectives for the future development of social tourism for seniors in Slovenia.
