Termalismo y turismo senior

Abstract

El termalismo es para Cunha (1997) el producto turistico mas antiguo del mundo. Sin embargo, no debe centrarse en las practicas del pasado sino integrar las costumbres, habitos y preferencias actuales, esforzandose por una constante adaptacion e innovacion. Es por ello que el concepto de termalismo del futuro debe asentarse en un enfoque de salud y bienestar ampliando de este modo su oferta de servicios. Bajo este enfoque, los balnearios deben intentar atraer a esa masa de clientes senior cada vez mas numerosa, que se encuentra en perfecto estado de salud y que acude al balneario buscando tratamientos terapeuticos especificos o con la finalidad de pasar unos dias agradables y descansar. Las actividades de ocio ocupan un espacio fundamental dentro del tiempo de los mayores y constituyen un elemento clave para prevenir la dependencia, garantizando un envejecimiento satisfactorio (IMSERSO, 2008). Segun Grande (1993) las personas mayores muestran actitudes favorables hacia nuevos productos y servicios; son consumidores expertos, pues poseen una gran experiencia adquirida a lo largo de toda su vida, por lo que adoptan nuevos productos cuando realmente estan convencidos de su utilidad; no son reacias a las innovaciones; el riesgo percibido es un factor de freno a la adopcion, por lo que las empresas turisticas, en este caso en el ambito termal, deben demostrar racionalmente las ventajas del nuevo producto turistico
