At the same time, the elderly have declined due to physical function and increased demand for recreational products. Due to decreased income, sensitive prices, sometimes, sometimes they are sensitive to prices. It is also greedy for small and cheap. "Jin Caiyu said that individuals or institutions and bad travel agencies without tourism qualifications to seize the weakness of the elderly and aim on the group of elderly people to organize the elderly to exercise and sightseeing. , "Free Tour", there are also new "traps" such as "donkey group" or "member system".

How can the elderly prevent travel from being deceived? Jin Caiyu said that in order to help the elderly strengthen the awareness of anti -fraud, communities and towns should do daily education, regularly carry out series of activities such as anti -emotional fraud and tourism fraud to enhance the awareness of the elderly, improve Fraud anti -fraud ability. Improve the social pension mechanism, add "elderly universities", open a law -popular classroom, health care classroom, and carry out leisure and entertainment activities. Pay attention to the health and emotional needs of the elderly, and do not give the scammer the opportunity.

The elderly should not easily believe in various sales activities during the tour, be vigilant, be cautious, and optimistic about their "money bags". To understand the principle of wool on the sheep, choose a travel agency and not to be cheap during the travel, do not believe in "free travel" and "low -cost tour", but there are pit in "low prices". Select regular travel agencies through legitimate channels, verify tourism prices, routes, accommodation, etc., when you encounter travel -related issues, communicate with your children, and learn the word of mouth of the travel agency in multiple channels.

At the same time, establish a correct awareness of health care, do not believe in all kinds of health medicines, health products, etc. during travel, and do not believe the false drug publicity that the so -called "expert" tells. It is necessary to properly keep all kinds of consumption notes during the tourism, if there is a problem to protect the rights to relevant departments in time.

Jin Caiyu said that the tourism market for the elderly is huge, and the elderly can not only relieve loneliness in tourism, be happy, but also make more friends. Therefore, the elderly tourism is important to the healthy development of the elderly or its tourism industry. "Although there are still many problems with the tourism of the elderly, with the development of the economy and the improvement of the social security mechanism, the development of the elderly tourism consumption market is broad." Jin Caiyu said.
