Independent Baby Boomers are Now Travelling
Travelling is a great way to spend your free time. If you’re quite busy with your work, you’ll find it hard to enjoy travelling to beautiful places. Many people with careers can’t seem to fit traveling in their schedule.
Not all people have the opportunity to travel.
One main reason is cost, and another is lack of time.
Baby boomers are nearly retiring, and most travel agencies are expecting their incomes to soar higher once these boomers retire.
Boomers can look forward and enjoy the pleasure of traveling to different places without worrying about their jobs or their families.
If you think that baby boomers are sulking in their homes because they are getting older, well, you’re quite wrong. They are out there, waiting to make another ‘boom’.
Independent travellers like baby boomers will not have a hard time looking for the best luxury-travel that they’ve wanted all their life. There are resources for good traveling deals, which they can afford.
They’re strong character’s never grew old with time, only their physical appearance.
They want to get the best deals, even in travelling.
Taking them for granted is not a good thing to do. In fact, travel agencies and companies can still benefit from them because they now have the money and time to book travels.
Many travel companies are offering luxury trips for baby boomers; but just a note of warning to these companies. Boomers are smart individuals and they don’t want other people to take advantage of them. Trips need to be good value for their hard-earned money.
Ever since baby boomers were born, they have received lots of attention. And now that many travel companies are offering them various travel deals, they just love it.
A large percentage of baby boomers find it easier to book their travels through the Internet, and they often do this at night until the wee hours of the morning.
The Internet makes it more convenient for them, and they are gladly accepting technological advances, which many people claim that older generations oppose.
What Travelling Baby Boomers Want
Boomers want to stay and look young. Retirement is not the end for them, they often view it as a new opportunity to travel and live a wonderful life. Ageing is not a big issue for baby boomers.
After so many years of working hard, taking care of kids, sending them off to school, meeting office deadlines, etc. its now time for baby boomers to focus more on themselves. Travel companies should be able to offer luxurious tours and trips that are of good value for boomers.
Baby boomers want to be free. What baby boomers like is to do things on their own and to explore different places together with their friends or families.
Baby boomers want a memorable and relaxing vacation/holiday and most of them don’t want to spend it in roadside hotels, which are rather noisy and packed with so many people.
Travelling to more luxurious hotels and resorts that are quieter attracts baby boomers. Though it may be expensive, it’s worth the money.
Travelling – Why I love The Travel Industry
When I was working full time in my career, I was earning a good income. Trouble was I didn’t have the time to enjoy it. If I had known what I know now I would have found the time by becoming involved in my current occupation, which is a travel company. Being retired and doing nothing has never been an option for me and so when I discovered that it was possible to do what you love, earn an income from it and meet hundreds of friends across the world – travel was the answer.
Being a Baby Boomer and travelling a great deal myself, it made perfect sense to spend time helping others to discover it as well.
We now have the kids off our hands (or should) , we have more time and we can look at going to those wonderful places we dreamed of before its too late. We aren’t afraid of ageing but the fact is we aren’t getting any younger either and while we are physically able, we want to cram as much in as possible while we can.
In fact, you might want to take a look at my 7 Must See Sites Before Becoming Wheelchair Bound I chose 7 cracking places and even though I could have included more, I thought these were awesome to begin with.
To summarise: Baby Boomers, in general are great travellers who now have the time and possibly money to do more of it. (if You haven’t then you might want to work with me and earn free vacations) Understanding the needs of Baby boomers is crucial if you want to attract them to your travel opportunities, wether that be as a customer of your service or someone who wants to have a home travel business themselves.

Hi Lynda, thanks for the great post! It’s true that baby boomers make great travellers. I think it’s important to make memories and see the world!
Agreed Edna. Whenever I go anywhere, there are loads of boomers travelling, whatever time of year it is. I think young people want to but maybe don’t have the money or time.
