What are the challenges and opportunities brought by the aging population?

Opportunities:

Conducive to the development of tourism.

First of all, the elderly have increased demand for spiritual consumption and generally have a desire to travel. Secondly, the elderly have long leisure time, emotional loneliness, desire for communication and comfort, and have potential travel motives.
