Abstract
Currently, the elderly have been more concerned with filling out routines and changing
habits to redefine life. In this scenario, travel has become an important ally for the
development of physical and psychological well-being. This work is an Intervention
Project whose general objective is to promote, along with the travel agents, the basic
principles of gerontology in driving the elderly person on tourist trips. Specific
objectives include: (1) Adapting tourist travel itineraries for the elderly; (2) Providing /
stimulating / triggering a prudent and humane relationship between travel agencies
and the elderly; (3) Promote knowledge about aging for travel agents. The need for
physiological, emotional and social care for the elderly is ratified, in addition to the
evidence of the emergence of a humanized relationship between travel agencies to
enhance the said public. It concludes by highlighting the importance of continuing
education for travel agents, with an emphasis on knowledge about human aging.
