With retirement fast becoming the only time in your life where complete relaxation and rejuvenation is possible, it is no wonder that the holiday industry for the over 50s is absolutely booming.

Cyprus and the Canaries have always been the obvious destinations; however the shores of Mexico, Hawaii and Florida have over the years become very inviting. With faster flights, more comfortable aircrafts and the vast array of accommodation seniors are spoilt for choice! Holidays to Europe have become easier and cheaper with the growth of low cost airlines, use of regional airports and cheaper fares on the Eurostar!
