Shoulder Season is Perfect for Senior Travelers... Here is why.

One of the best-kept secrets for senior travelers is the benefits of traveling during the shoulder season. This is the period just before and after the peak tourist season, typically spring and fall. Here’s why the shoulder season is ideal for senior travel:

• Fewer Crowds: Popular destinations are less crowded, making it easier to explore attractions without the hustle and bustle of peak-season tourists.
• Off-Season Rates: Enjoy the same high-quality services, accommodations, and attractions at a more affordable price. Off-season rates can significantly reduce travel costs.
• Mild Weather: The weather during the shoulder season is often still warm and pleasant, perfect for sightseeing and outdoor activities without the extreme heat or cold.
• High-Quality Service: With fewer tourists, you can expect more attentive and personalized service from hotels, restaurants, and tour operators.
