Forms of tourist activity of the 60+ age group in small towns of the Pomerania and Warmia-Masuria Provinces

Abstract

As a result of the natural ageing process, members of the 60+ age group are frequently ruled out as active participants of the society. While their professional, social and psychophysical activity diminishes, however, their leisure time budget expands. One of the beneficial forms of activity, which enables the elderly to manage their leisure time productively, is tourism. The following paper analyses forms of tourist activity of a 60+ age group. The sample group consisted of tourists who visited small towns of the Pomerania and Warmia-Masuria provinces.
