The over-50s market is one of the fastest-growing and highest-spending travel segments in Australia.

At National Travel Group, we’ve built our entire model around this audience and we back our consultants with the expertise, relationships, and product access to thrive in it.

  • 9.5 million Australians are aged 50 and over — that's over 37% of the total population (ABS, 2023).

  • Australians aged 55–74 spend the most on travel, both domestic and international, compared to any other age group (Tourism Research Australia, 2022).

  • In a post-COVID world, seniors are prioritising “bucket list” experiences longer, more meaningful, and often higher-value holidays.

  • 65% of Australian travellers aged 50+ say they prefer small group or escorted tours and cruise-based holidays (NTIA & Travel Weekly survey, 2023).

  • Over 50s are more loyal to their travel consultant, relying on personal service and trusted advice, especially for complex itineraries and insurance.

  • By 2030, the 65+ age group will increase by 35%, adding another 1.7 million potential premium travellers (Australian Government Intergenerational Report)
