Abstract

The silver economy, driven by the aging population, presents significant opportunities and challenges for various industries, including sports, leisure, and tourism. This paper explores the integration of sports, leisure, and cultural tourism, focusing on the specific needs and preferences of the elderly demographic. By examining successful international models and integrating local cultural resources, this study proposes strategies for the development of integrated services that promote the well-being and active lifestyle of older adults. The paper discusses the synergies between these sectors, identifies key challenges in their integration, and provides policy recommendations for fostering this convergence in the context of the silver economy.
