Constraints and Facilitators for Senior Tourism.

The model illustrates how intrapersonal and interpersonal constraints and facilitators (e.g. health and emotional stress, loss of travel partners) and microstructural and macrostructural factors (e.g. finances and travel regulations) explain tourist behaviour among seniors. The model incorporates strategies that seniors develop to overcome constraints to travelling, via anticipation and intervention. An understanding of the constraints and facilitators for senior tourism can assist tourism businesses and destinations to develop strategies to reduce negative effects and reinforce positive influences on seniors' participation in tourism.
