reporter investigates what you think [The "silver-haired family" has frequent outbound travel safety accidents, and travel agencies have not provided special security measures] The "2018 Group Tourism Consumption Upgrade Report" released by a well-known tourism platform disclosed that this year the footprints of the elderly in my country are spread across 74 countries around the world. The average single-time spending of domestic and foreign tourism among the post-50s has reached 3,115 yuan, which is the group that is most willing to spend money on tourism. As the elderly choose to travel abroad, safety risks are becoming increasingly prominent. From group tours to free travel, there are more and more types of travel options for the elderly to choose to travel abroad. However, some travel agencies only take conventional measures for the safety of elderly people traveling abroad. Some overseas travel safety incidents of the elderly in the past have shown that travel agencies have not effectively taken corresponding security measures and necessary guardianship. Wang Xue (pseudonym), a travel consultant at a travel agency, told reporters: "We all consider safety as the first element. If the registered elderly people are completely speechless or have poor physical fitness, we will directly refuse such tourists. The elderly group will usually send a team leader to take care of them in addition to ordinary tour guides. After the tourists register, we will purchase insurance for them. However, there are many people traveling, and we cannot take care of the elderly in every detail." Reporter Du Xiao Intern Xu Jinghua
