research, third mission
This research concerned any possible changes in the relation between the elderly and their mental wellbeing while travelling during the Covid-19 pandemic. The survey required around 15 minutes to be completed and its target was people over 65, who experience a new period of life (the old age) during which they can start new habits and improve themselves.
Results were compared with other data collected in a famous Italian art city in 2018 and were shared with Tourism operators to improve their strategies. Data were collected anonymously for research purposes only, in accordance with art. 7 of Legislative Decree no. 196/2003.
