The first thing you need is information. TourBook guides provide a wealth of details. Not only do they give you an overview of a city or region and rate lodgings and restaurants, they also tell you which properties offer discounts for seniors. Discounts, a minimum of 10 percent, are usually available to those over 60. Another set of icons tells you how accessible a place is for people with disabilities.
Many lodgings also provide facilities for the hearing-impaired.
For more in-depth information, members can turn to a AAA auto travel counselor or travel agent. Your counselor or agent, depending on whether you're planning to drive or to fly to your destination, is there to listen to your interests and to design a vacation that fits your needs and satisfies your curiosity. Travel agents know that package tours and cruises are popular options for mature travelers. Industrywide, seniors account for nearly 40 percent of all package tours. All-inclusive tours are a great way to see a lot of interesting sights, enjoy the company of fun people, and pay only one price to do it all.
