Abstract This chapter aims to identify the determining factors and the main aspects to be developed to facilitate healthy and active ageing, thus improving the life quality of elderly people based on the Spanish government's social tourism programmes designed for this population group. This chapter starts with a contextualization of the social tourism concept, followed by a review of the public policies for active and healthy ageing and their impact on the tourism industry. Finally, an in-depth analysis of social tourism programmes in Spain is presented. Included is an exploratory analysis of the impact of social tourism on seniors' quality of life.

Abstract This chapter examines recent developments in social tourism initiatives by analysing the factors underpinning them from a historical perspective and by contrasting the expansion in social tourism policies alongside general tourism policies. It goes on to provide a critical analysis of the various types of policies, from the system of delivery of subsidies and support for the intermediaries providing social tourism programmes to the system, which favours aid given directly to the person, and how they are implemented throughout Europe.

Abstract This chapter presents the social tourism programmes for seniors in Slovenia by focusing on three aspects: (i) What programmes, identifiable within the framework of social tourism, exist in Slovenia? (ii) What adjustments do they include to enable seniors to take part? And (iii) what are the benefits of such programmes? The programmes were analysed in two ways: (i) through the analysis of secondary sources, i.e. review of programme webpages and various data provided by programme organizers in the form of reports; and (ii) through a qualitative survey of key stakeholders in the field of social tourism for seniors. The chapter concludes by presenting perspectives for the future development of social tourism for seniors in Slovenia.

Abstract This chapter presents a case study concerning the practices of social tourism in Finland, with a focus on the challenges and opportunities for development. Representatives of four social tourism associations and the Funding Centre for Social Welfare and Health Organisations (STEA) were interviewed, and their perceptions of the major challenges and opportunities for the future development investigated. Also, the interviewees' opinions of the stimulus model/host-related social tourism, as well as some alternative forms of social tourism implementation that have not been adopted in the Finnish system, were surveyed. The understanding gained can create a basis for, for instance, academic and sociopolitical discussions, further social tourism analysis, and future development and cooperation inside the operational field.
