Welcome, I'm Steve and for today's show I'm joined by Ngo Hong Lin and Lai Ming.
First on the program, China has introduced specialized tourist train services aimed at elderly travelers, creating opportunities for older adults to explore the country's diverse cultural and natural attractions.
This initiative reflects a broader effort to cater to the growing senior demographic, encouraging them to travel comfortably and confidently.
By designing these services, China is tapping into the potential of senior tourism, a market often underserved in the travel industry.
As the population ages, such initiatives could set a precedent for other nations to follow, ensuring that tourism remains accessible and enjoyable for all age groups.
Niu Hong Lin and Lai Ming, good afternoon to you both.
