The Elderly

Over half of the questioned had been abroad as youngsters. Most of them had travelled to Nordic countries; half of them had travelled further throughout Europe, while only a low number had been in other parts of the world. Some of the questioned had been on their first vacation abroad as children, half of them were youths, and the rest were between twenty and thirty years old. Boats and trains were the ways of transportation mostly used on their holidays abroad. The majority spent their vacations at home, while few travelled more or less abroad. Unstable financial situations and big families were the main-reasons given by the elderly as an answer to why so few travelled to foreign countries, as well as worse and more expensive ways of transportation.

Everybody had more or less travelled abroad during their adult-life. The Nordic countries were still dominating as travelling-goals, but it was more and more common to travel to a little more exotic places like for instance countries situated in the Mediterranean-Ocean. About a hundred percent of the interviewed travel regularly abroad. The part of the year when the winter and fall passes us by, is the most popular time of the year to travel abroad.
