CONSUMER TRAVEL Elderhostel changes its name, but that’s all

By Ed Perkins

Elderhostel, since 1975 a dominant force in educational travel for senior citizens, has decided it outgrew its name. From now on, it’s “Exploritas.” The new name, the news release says, “focuses more on the excitement of lifelong learning and exploration and less on age.”
