Over-50s "making more use of technology while travelling" by Cheap Flights Booker UK

High-tech gadgets and modern phenomena such as social media networks are proving increasingly important for travellers over the age of 50, according to an expert on the demographic.

Ceri Wheeldon, founder of Fabafterfifty, a lifestyle website and social platform for women over 50, said older holidaymakers often add posts to Twitter or update their Facebook profile while they are away.

She highlighted the stark differences between people over the age of 50 and over-70s, claiming that members of the latter age group are generally much more reluctant to embrace technology.

"If you look at the over-50s, that next generation down, it is common practice for us to take our mobile phones [on holiday] with us and now of course upgraded smartphones," added Ms Wheeldon.

The website founder also commented on the importance of the internet for holiday planning and research, noting that platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube can be particularly useful for people searching for travel inspiration and advice.
