MakeMyTrip together with Emoha has launched curated #EldersFirst holiday packages. From senior-friendly accommodations to pre-travel health screenings, 24/7 emergency coordination, and a nurse onboard, every detail is crafted to help seniors travel with confidence and create lasting memories.
Growing Demand for Senior Travel
India’s silver tourism market is growing, but concerns around health, mobility, and safety continue to hold many seniors back from travelling. On MakeMyTrip, travellers aged 60+ already account for nearly 9% of all holiday package bookings, with strong demand for group tours (20%) and long-haul trips (13%). At the same time, many seniors are seeking specialized support during trips to travel more comfortably and confidently. This is what MakeMyTrip and Emoha are trying to solve with #EldersFirst holiday packages.
Leadership Remarks
Commenting on the launch, Jasmeet Singh, Chief Commercial Officer – Holidays & Experiences, MakeMyTrip, said, “Travel is one of life’s greatest joys, and our elders deserve to experience it without worry. Too often, health concerns become barriers that keep them from exploring the world. With these senior-friendly holidays, we want to give them the freedom to travel with confidence and reassurance to their families. For us, this is not just about creating holidays, it’s about creating moments of joy and peace of mind for seniors and their families.”
“At Emoha, we believe every phase of life should be extraordinary. Just like a caring son or daughter, we’re always by their side, helping seniors age magnificently and enjoy life to the fullest. Travel is a dream many seniors hold close, but concerns about safety, support, or comfort can hold them back. That’s why, with MakeMyTrip, we’re creating #EldersFirst travel experiences that are safe, enjoyable, memorable,” said Saumyajit Roy, CEO & Co-Founder, Emoha.
Senior-Friendly Features
Every journey under #EldersFirst holiday package begins with pre-travel health screenings and medical profiling before departure. Accommodations are carefully chosen to include elder-friendly features such as grab bars, non-slip flooring, wheelchair access, and access to emergency medical support.
A trained nurse always accompanies each group, providing round-the-clock medical and wellness support, from managing medications and monitoring vitals to administering first aid and assisting with special requirements. Mobility aids such as walkers and wheelchairs are also made available, helping seniors move freely and safely.
