Question: How senior-friendly are the beaches of the João Pessoa coast in terms of accessibility. None fully followed directives though urban ones more likely.
Senior tourism access: clear directional signs, routes with not steep gradients, low falls ramps (cross slope), automatic doors, large signs, and removal of uneven surface. Proposes guidelines for the development of tourism facilities that is provide user-friendly facilities such as trailing (or trail) bars along corridors, the magnifying glass at the museum, or public space handicap accessible. The result of this research suggest guidelines for accessible tourism in term of facilities to development for tourist attraction in Hua-Hin.

Case studies of slow Tourism.
Case studies of different approaches to older tourists from a supply-side perspective. Three companies in the tourism industry with different targeting and positioning strategies in the older tourist market are examined: a Canadian-based tour operator offering exotic adventure travels, a Slovenian-based tour operator and travel agency specializing in slow garden travels, and a United Kingdom-based company providing long-term accommodation solutions in Southern Europe.
Tourism promoters and managers, stakeholders and DMO’s, have the great challenge of mitigating, as much as possible, the travel restrictions of elderly tourists, through several strategies and tools that allow a greater participation of this segment of the population in tourism activities.
