2. Identification & explanation of the issue
2.1. Definitions
Grey Tourism is a niche market in the tourism sector that refers to the seniors travel market (Economic Development Committee, 2010). However, there are different definitions of seniors. In the following, the definition by Tourism Queensland (n.d.) will serve as basis as this definition is also used in other literature and is consistent with the general assumption people have in mind when thinking about senior citizens: "The term Senior is usually used to refer to a person aged 60 or over" (Tourism Queensland, n.d., 1).
