Travel is top priority for senior adults
AARP survey shows almost two-thirds expect to travel in 2026
The AARP Survey found that 64 percent of adults 50 and over expect to travel in 2026, even as costs climb and air and trip travel challenges increase. These travelers included 15% of respondents who are disabled or have health problems that required accommodations.
The survey was conducted after the US government shutdown from Oct. 1 to Nov. 12, which resulted in increased flight delays and cancellations.
Over half of older travelers used air, hotel, and booking loyalty programs. The next step in trip savings is shopping for travel deals at a wholesale site like Vacation Steal’s membership program.
