In recent years, elderly people who pay attention to "slow travel" have gradually become the main force in tourism travel, and "silver haired trains" have become a hot topic. In January of this year, nine departments including the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and China Railway Group jointly released the "Action Plan on Increasing the Operation of Silver Hair Tourism Trains to Promote the Development of Service Consumption". At present, a series of tourist trains loaded with silver haired groups are departing one after another. In Wuhan, Hubei Province, a "silver haired special train" for off peak tourism before the May Day holiday will embark on a four-day and three night trip to western Hubei. According to the statistics of the train crew, among the more than 600 passengers on this "silver haired special train", 90% of them are over 60 years old, with the highest age reaching 82 years old. Du Xing, a technician at the ticket sales workshop of Hankou Station of China Railway Wuhan Bureau: In response to this group of elderly passengers, our station has also specially provided "three specialized" services, namely specialized entry channels, specialized travel services, and specialized waiting services. Since mid March, Wuhan Bureau has operated 15 tourist trains, of which more than half are silver haired trains. With the normalization of the "Silver Hair Special Train", the elderly tourist group is sweeping through various cultural and tourism markets with a surge, becoming the "new hot top stream" in the cultural and tourism circle. The regular operation of silver haired special trains has greatly activated the cultural and tourism markets of cities along the route. Travel agencies also continue to improve their service system. Outside the scenic area, buses and trains have achieved seamless connection; Within the scenic area, create routes with reasonable itineraries and no turning back, providing them with more refined and age appropriate tour guide services. The silver haired special train has also injected new vitality into the cultural and tourism market of cities along the train route. (New Society)
