MYRTLE BEACH, SC — April 25, 2025 — Capital Vacations, a hospitality company dedicated to reimagining travel by connecting independent resorts with travelers through technology and curated vacation products, is spotlighting new research on the health benefits of travel for older adults. Studies suggest that travel can enhance seniors’ cognitive function, emotional well-being, and even longevity.
“Staying active and socially connected is critical for seniors’ overall well-being, and travel offers a perfect opportunity to do both,” said Travis Bary, Co-President of Capital Vacations.
Travel and Cognitive Health
A study published in the Journal of Travel Research (Smith & Brown, 2023) found that seniors who engage in regular travel report improved mental agility and a lower risk of dementia. Exposure to new environments stimulates brain activity, helping to strengthen memory retention and problem-solving skills.
Travel and Physical Health
Research conducted by the Global Commission on Aging and the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies (2013) revealed strong links between travel and cardiovascular health. Their findings showed:
-
Men who take annual vacations are 32% less likely to die from heart disease.
-
Women who vacation at least twice a year face a significantly lower risk of heart-related conditions.
Travel also fosters physical activity and social engagement—two essential factors for healthy aging.
Emotional and Mental Well-Being
According to the American Journal of Psychiatry (Lee et al., 2022), seniors who travel more frequently experience reduced stress, anxiety, and depression. New experiences and environments stimulate positive emotions, which can counteract loneliness and increase overall life satisfaction.
Bary added:
“Travel allows older adults to break from routine, embrace new experiences, and create lasting memories. At Capital Vacations, we strive to make travel accessible and enjoyable for seniors so they can fully benefit from their well-earned vacations.”
