Abstract

Prior research on elderly travel has mostly examined the travel goals, situations, and happiness of older individuals as distinct factors. However, there has been little investigation into the influence of multigenerational interactions on the journeys and well-being of elderly tourists. Recognizing the urgency and importance of this gap, this study explores the impact of interpersonal connections with younger generations on the travel experiences and well-being of older individuals. Extensive research involving elderly travelers reveals that their interactions with their adult children often occur exclusively during shared travel, encompassing the period before, during, and after the trip. The findings also indicate that the recognition of elderly travelers’ experiences by their adult offspring significantly influences the quality of these relationships, which in turn affects the well-being of the elderly. Therefore, conducting a thorough examination of how intergenerational interactions impact the travel experiences and happiness of older individuals enables the tourism industry to make necessary adjustments to its products and services. This approach not only enhances intergenerational connections but also contributes to the growth of the elderly tourist market and boosts the profitability of destinations.
