As you well know, through the Institute for the Elderly and Social Services (Imserso), the State Administration promotes a Tourism Program aimed at older people whose objectives are to facilitate the incorporation of this group into tourist streams and mitigate the labor consequences of the seasonality phenomenon in the country's tourism sector.
Today in Hard Hobbit To Break We want to offer all the details about Imserso's trips for 2016-2017. Would you like to join us?
Destinations
So that older people can enjoy a good holiday, yes, in the period from October to June, the Imserso offers different modalities Travel. Thus, for example, for beach lovers they propose both peninsular coastal destinations (Andalusia, Catalonia, Murcia and the Valencian Community) and island destinations (Balearic Islands and Canary Islands). In addition, the Institute offers inland tourism, proposing cultural circuits, nature tourism, trips to provincial capitals and trips to the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla.
Prices
The best thing about this program is that the prices are quite cheap. For example, the price with transport included for destinations coastal peninsular ranges between 166.03 euros (stay of 8 days and 7 nights in low season) and 365.40 euros (stay 15 days and 14 nights in high season). Trips to the Balearic Islands are somewhat more expensive: they go from 182.75 euros for a stay of 8 days and 7 nights, plus transportation, in low season, to 396.80 euros for a stay of 15 days and 14 nights, plus transportation, in high season. As for the Canary Islands, the price ranges from 314.23 euros (stay of 8 days and 7 nights) to 585.90 euros (combined trips of 15 days and 14 nights).

As for inland tourism, prices range from 91 euros (trip to a city of 3 days and two nights) to 284.58 (circuits of 7 days and 6 nights). Prices include accommodation (double room to share), full board (on trips to capitals province the regime is half board) and group insurance policy.
