| Abstract | This study gauges the development of hotel services for senior citizens in Taiwan. Senior citizens are described as people aged 65 years or more. According to statistics obtained in the course of this study, senior citizens make up 10.7 percent of Taiwan’s population. Considering that the 2009 estimates indicated that Taiwan had a population of 25 million people, this study notes that the percentage of senior citizens presented in the country deserves some special attention from the hoteliers especially considering that they have more time to spend socializing with their peers after retirement. They are also freer to travel to visit friends and relatives and when such is the case, the need for hotel services arises. With concerns that the Taiwan aging population is increasing at a fast rate, which overshadows the birth rates, one can only anticipate a situation where services that are friendly to the senior citizens will increase steadily in the foreseeable future. This study however notes that not enough efforts have been directed at developing the hotel service sector for senior citizens. It therefore recommends that hoteliers need to research the needs and interests of the elderly citizens with the view of developing facilities and training staff for purposes of meeting the interests and needs of the elderly population in Taiwan. |
