Galician Imserso

The Xunta de Galicia announced the launch of a national and international travel program with discounts for Galicians over 65 years of age who want to see the world and live experiences. This is an initiative, similar to a “Galician Imserso”, which will be available to more than 700,000 galicians.

Senior tourism

Senior tourism is a growing and high-value segment for the tourism sector. This is a type of tourist whose profile has changed compared to previous generations: they now have a higher purchasing power, better health, more travel experience, and are motivated by culture. Now, this tourist is no longer only looking for destinations on the coast or on the Spanish islands, but is also interested in European cities, Caribbean countries and other areas such as North Africa, motivated by the cultural component. In addition, senior tourists travel throughout the year, even in seasons of low or medium demand.

More and more wholesalers are offering alternative itineraries to the Imserso programs, planning their own specialized products, meeting the demand of this tourist segment that is so important for the sector.
