The population over 65
has increased sharply in Spain, even as it has improved the quality of life
which reaches this age. This coupled with increased leisure that tend to enjoy
these people, makes this sector one of the leading candidates to consume entertainment.
Public and private agencies
increasingly focus its attention on this group of people whose incomes do not
always allow many activities. The goal is to motivate their access to new
services through discounts and promotions.
IMSERSO
The Institute of Senior
and Social Services provides inter alia certain activities to the larger
population at prices below market for example in the tourism sector.
They are given various kinds
of holidays such as Sun and beach tourism, cultural tourism, nature tourism or
travel abroad. For these trips is necessary to meet certain requirements:
· Being a retired
Social Security.

years in the case of early retirement and other pensioners.
Request for travel IMSERSO
The application can be done
through the internet or delivered to the IMSERSO or at the office of Social
Services until June 30. After opening another application period until
December 1, but in such cases can only be eligible for vacancies free to stop

The trips generally include
transportation, accommodation, full board in a double room, medical service and
a program of activities.
Another possibility is to

the thermal treatments have been prescribed by a doctor.

Some transportation
companies, some municipalities and other entities offer at present for
further discounts as they do with young people. So every day arise such
initiatives:
· Reductions in the
price of city bus.

travel by train up to 50% through the acquisition of certain cards.

in domestic and international flights.
