Abstract(s)
The growth of the elderly population is a transversal phenomenon to almost all the countries in the world. In recent years we have seen a growing elderly desire to improve their quality of life and well-being, while increasing interest in this segment of life by governments and, especially, by tourism companies [15]. Studies developed by [9,10,19,27,34] show, in European continent, the will of each of the parts to participate in social tourism. Portugal and Spain follow the global trend and, to mitigate the constraints inherent to advanced age, and others related to health, social and economic difficulties, promote, respectively, the social tourism programs by INATEL and IMSERSO.
