Abstract: The conference “Silver Tourism” took place in Darlowo, northern Poland on 6-7 May 2017, organized by Darlot local tourist consortium, PROAge and University of Lodz. Many participants – representatives of tourist agencies, boards and service providers from many town and resorts from Poland – took part at this conference, as well as EURAG (European Federation of Older Persons) representatives, as international guests.
EURAG is a non-profit and non-religious European organisation independent of any political parties. Its purpose is to promote the quality of life of older persons in society, at all social and political levels. EURAG especially promotes the coordination, collaboration, and exchange of opinions by its members with expert and service organisations, self-help groups as well as with individuals possessing special expertise.
DiscOver55 project and COSME programme were presented by Alenka Ogrin from ZDUS, Slovenia, also a member of EURAG. The audience was particularly interested in the recommendations from the evaluation report and presentation of tourist packages for seniors, adapted for the low season.
