Feb. 23, 2012 - PRLog -- One of the most significant trends in the over-50s travel market at present, according to One World Trekking, is a growing interest in authentic and adventurous hiking and trekking experiences. Andy Crisconi, owner and trekking guide for the 24 year Himalayan travel leader, says people between the ages of 52 and 65 are expressing a strong desire to see the world, stay active, healthy and immerse themselves in foreign cultures.

“Over the past three years, we have seen an increase in people wanting hiking and trekking adventures in remote areas, away from the crowds,' Andy adds.

Destinations attracting interest from the over-50 crowd includes Nepal and Bhutan.
