During such tours, our pensioners reveal different sides of themselves, they begin to feel young and vigorous again.

We all know that European pensioners travel all over the world, but the most gratifying thing is that domestic pensioners buy travel packages.
Considering consumer demand and changes in the tourism market, many travel companies offer tours for retirees to Israel. Tours for pensioners are very diverse - individual and group tours, these are excursion and pilgrimage, for holidays, but the most popular among pensioners are health, medical and combined tours to Israel, as well as one-day excursions.
As for one-day trips, this is the most popular type of vacation. At the request of vacationers, they can be assigned a driver with a car, as well as accompanying persons - a guide or security.

Israel guides usually have higher education and many years of experience working with tourists of different categories, as well as with tourists from the countries of the former CIS. The cost of an individual tour to Israel for a traveling pensioner or tourists of any other category depends primarily on the number of people in the group, as well as on the class of car chosen by the travelers.
The excursion route, the distance you will have to travel for the chosen excursion, as well as the duration of the excursion program also have a significant influence on the cost of the tour. With an individual tour, you can order any route and any excursion, and this is the main advantage of individual tours. After all, if you travel in a group, pensioners do not always feel easy and comfortable in the circle of young people; they cannot always keep up with the young people, and individual tour For retirees, going to Israel is an ideal option for leisure and vacation.
Tours for pensioners are different - these are standard tours with sightseeing excursions, these are historical excursions, under open air on archaeological excavations and visit archaeological sites. Tours to Israel, called gastronomic and wine tours, have become very popular among pensioners and others. Gastronomic and wine tours for retirees to Israel include visits to enterprises and small farms that produce cheese and wine. At wineries you can taste excellent Israeli wine, which is in great demand not only among Israeli residents, but is known throughout the world.
Today, Israeli light wine competes on equal terms with famous wine producers in the world - France, Italy and Portugal. Small farms in Israel offer exclusive varieties of cheese made from goat and cow milk. Today you can try more than 100 varieties by going on an individual gastronomic tour of Israel.
There are tours to Israel that, at first glance, are absolutely unsuitable for pensioners and older people, but they are in demand - this is a jeep trip through the Negev Desert, visiting picturesque oases, national parks, located right in the heart of the desert. No less popular are tours that include activities such as camel riding, horseback riding, hiking and hiking, as well beach holiday on the seas of Israel - Mediterranean, Red, Dead.
Recently, mystical tours have also appeared, where pensioners and everyone is invited to study Kabbalah, where a medium or an expert in this ancient art of predicting fate will introduce several secrets of ancient magic; the tour program includes meals and lectures, conferences held by the most famous Kabbalists of the modern world.
Tours for pensioners and Israel also involve a romantic holiday, because romance does not depend on age, it is a state of mind, and as practice shows, pensioners are very romantic people. The program of romantic tours, as a rule, includes accommodation in separate cottages. You can order a romantic dinner at a restaurant, or you can take a walk along Krasny or Mediterranean Sea on a yacht.
Recently, the Israeli Ministry of Tourism conducted a survey among retirees about traveling within the country and abroad. As the survey data showed, almost 50% of Israeli pensioners aged 65 years and older are regular travelers, that is, they constantly travel around the country, vacation in Israel, and go on vacation outside its borders. As a result of the survey, it became clear that we cannot write off tourist markets pensioners, as they are a promising category of tourists. After all, Israeli pensioners allow themselves long trips; if we translate this into numbers, the result is approximately 1.8 trips per year.
The total number of retirees traveling in Israel, both Israeli and retirees who come on tours for retirees to Israel from other countries, is 15% of all travelers. Today, the leadership of the Israeli Ministry of Tourism is taking all measures to ensure that travel to Israel for this category of tourists is as accessible and comfortable as possible, no matter what we are talking about, be it sightseeing tours visiting existing attractions or tours visiting new, attractive ones. pensioners excursion programs.
The Israeli Ministry of Tourism is investing in training guides specifically to work with this category of tourists. According to the survey results, 58% of respondents are convinced that its tourist sites meet all the requirements for visiting by older people.
Every year a convention and conference is held in Haifa, organized by the Israeli Ministry of Tourism. A marketing seminar within the framework of the congress is held for those who are closely and seriously involved in organizing tourist recreation pensioners, is developing new tours for pensioners in Israel. Tour guides, club leaders and representatives of voluntary organizations, social security services for pensioners, as well as those who develop cultural programs for pensioners, are guided through tourist routes, which are of greatest interest to older tourists.
In the West, excursion tours for pensioners have long been common and common. Today in Russia this side of tourism is beginning to gain momentum. Many travel companies began to offer excursion tours for pensioners of different categories according to affordable prices, making a discount at the expense of their income. And that is great. Some pensioners buy tours themselves and travel around cities and countries, fulfilling an old dream. Some are given such a gift by adult children. All kinds of tours have been specially developed for older tourists, much cheaper and with a significant simplification of preparation for travel (obtaining a visa to enter the country). Excursion tours are organized in completely different directions. This is Russia, and Europe, and the resorts of the Mediterranean, Red or Dead Sea.
Where and when to go
In spring and autumn, pensioners are offered interesting excursion routes throughout Europe: Italy, France, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Holland, Great Britain, Ireland. These routes are less tiring, the distances are shorter, and priceless treasures worthy of attention, disproportionately more. Therefore, such voyages are most attractive for people of advanced age. Well, the health resorts of Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Israel and others are suitable for such vacationers all year round. On tours for pensioners (hotel, flights, etc.), tour operators try to make maximum discounts, and this is only possible outside the high season. It is during this period that such trips are most often offered.
All in favor of excursion tours for pensioners
As a rule, tours for older people are designed so that tourists are accompanied throughout the entire trip by an experienced Russian-speaking company employee.
Pensioners are usually accommodated in cozy, quiet, inexpensive hotels with good cuisine.
The excursion program is planned with minor transfers. Acquiring new like-minded people and friends at literary and dance evenings, walks, film screenings, quizzes, holidays, and birthdays makes excursion tours even more attractive and desirable. And, of course, the combination of decent quality of retirement tours with a relatively low cost is another argument in favor of such tours.
Approximate cost
The cost of a week-long European tour for older people, depending on the chosen country, starts from 30,000 - 35,000 RUB per person. The price includes flight, transfer, medical insurance, excursion program (3-4 excursions), escort Russian speaking guide, food (breakfast) and accommodation. Additionally paid: visa (depending on the chosen country), travel insurance (optional), additional medical insurance for those over 65 years old (optional).
The crisis is a crisis, and domestic pensioners began to travel abroad more often than before. This happens due to the fact that companies provide significant discounts and holiday benefits to older tourists. One of the countries where you can treat your health and have a wonderful inexpensive holiday is Israel.
It was the crisis in the tourism sector that forced many operators to make “concessions” and adapt their services not only to wealthy tourists, but also to pensioners.
