MODERN SENIOR TOURISM IN THE CONTEXT OF YOUNG PEOPLE TOURIST ACTIVITY IN POLAND

Owing to the world demographic situation, the phenomenon of senior tourism is dynamically developing. More and more retired people want to travel and get to know new places. Therefore, the paper aims to compare the tourist activity of retired people and that of mobile working age people. The results obtained in the performed analysis allow to conclude that the tourist activity of pensioners and of young people is not similar. On the basis of the analysis of the selected characteristics of tourist activity and the seniors’ age with the use of the chi-squared test, the authors pointed at the relationships occurring among these characteristics. The comparative analysis showed that the tourist expectations of the studied groups are different. The results prove that the diversity of travel concerns many problems.
