A friend of mine has his retirement planned to a tee. He told me that when all his kids grow up and leave the nest, and he has attained his golden years, he wants to go travelling with his wife. That’s what most senior citizens are doing these days actually. With every Matta fair that comes our way, I see throngs of senior citizens booking holiday packages with their families, China being one of the more popular destinations.
If I owned a travel company, I would up the ante on the competition by bundling in travel insurance for the elderly in the holiday package. I bet that would be certainly be attractive, because not only would the traveller feel secure whilst on holiday, it is definitely hard to find insurance companies who are willing to insure the elderly folk. Of course, I hope that I too will have the opportunity to travel far and wide when I get the title of “senior citizen”, which by the way is a LONG time to go still. *wink*
I have light years to go before I become a senior citizen and I still haven’t travelled anywhere besides Malaysia and Singapore. *sigh*
