Older travellers account for half of all foreign holidays Britons aged between 45 and 54 take more holidays than any other age group, the report said, while those aged 45-64 accounted for 41 per cent of all expenditure in holidays abroad during 2010 and 2011. Holidaymakers over the age of 55 are the most likely to book their entire trip online, it was revealed, with two-thirds of them doing so. Ian Smith, group CEO of Page & Moy Travel Group, the parent company of Travelsphere, said: "Many of today's older travellers have time, money and the internet at their fingertips to entice and enable. The UK's older population is growing at the fastest rate, accounting for 17 per cent of our population today, but is expected to rise to 23 per cent by 2035, so older travellers will continue to dominate the tourism offering at home and abroad.
