"With the acceleration of the pace of aging, the elderly cultural tourism consumer group continues to grow, but there are still some blockages in the consumption of elderly cultural tourism. Jin Yongwei, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and secretary-general of the Democratic Progressive Party, suggested that the "age threshold", "facility threshold" and "digital threshold" of cultural and tourism consumption should be broken, so that the elderly can enjoy better and better cultural tourism services.
Jin Yongwei said that the "age threshold" of cultural tourism consumption, such as travel agencies in the reception of elderly tourists over 70 years old, most of them require children to be accompanied, or simply do not accept, such an "age threshold" has brought obstacles to the expansion of the elderly cultural tourism consumption market. In the cultural and tourism consumer market, we should vigorously promote the replacement of age constraints with health conditions, vigorously develop the travel insurance business for the elderly, and relax the upper age limit of the insured.
The "facility threshold" of cultural and tourism consumption venues is mainly due to the fact that cultural and tourism consumption places, transportation, catering and accommodation facilities such as public venues and park attractions have not been renovated for the elderly. It is necessary to formulate a unified and standardized standard for facilities suitable for the elderly, incorporate them into the building code for new cultural and tourism consumption venues, and introduce corresponding policies to encourage the transformation of existing consumption places for the elderly, so as to provide more convenient and humanized services for the elderly cultural and tourism consumer groups.
Some public places and scenic spots, as well as civil aviation, railways, hotels, etc., lack non-digital means suitable for the elderly to make reservations and reservations, which brings an insurmountable 'digital threshold' to elderly cultural tourism consumers. Jin Yongwei suggested that public museums, memorial halls, parks and other public cultural and tourism consumption places that are open for free should be set up with special admission channels for elderly tourists in addition to holidays and when the number of people in the venues is saturated.
Jin Yongwei said that the transformation of cultural and tourism consumption for the elderly from welfare to industrialization is an important part of vigorously developing the silver economy and promoting the domestic economic cycle.
