Modern grandparents are far from the stereotype of the elderly who offer sweets and candies to their grandchildren and have them sit on their knees to listen to old fairy tales… Nowadays, they go for holidays together with their beloved grandchildren!
Some facts that led to this development: the elderly cover an increasing proportion of the total population, their physical condition is much better than in the past decades, their time is not limited by endless hours of work and their financial status is well… Add to the mix that most modern parents do not have much time because of their career or would like to spend some quiet time away from their children, and you have a brand new touristic trend that is gaining momentum on a global scale. Its name, “Skip Gen Vacations”!
Travel agencies from around the globe have already started specializing in skip-gen tour packages, providing experiences specifically designed for seniors and children.
Greek Adventure also offers many packages that appeal to all ages, ideal for offering unique moments to elderly travelers who accompany their grandchildren and will tighten their ties, like for example:
- Soft hiking on the holy paths of Meteora
