Thomas Cook India Expands Senior Travel Segment with New Products and Partnerships

Thomas Cook India strengthens its position on high potential Senior’s Travel Segment through Product Innovation and Strategic Tie-ups 

Mumbai, October 18th, 2025: While a lot has been said about India’s young demographic, the country’s senior population is also witnessing unprecedented growth, with those aged 60 and above projected to reach 347 million by 2050, accounting for 21% of the total population (PwC-ASLI Senior Care Report 2024 and UNFPA 2023). Recognizing this significant demographic shift and the rising aspirations of the 55+ community, Thomas Cook (India) Limited, India’s leading omnichannel travel services company, is strengthening its focus on this high-potential segment. 

India’s senior travellers today have the time and financial resources to travel. The overall growth in the economy has driven increased spending power, and the rise in nuclear families has resulted in seniors having more free time and accumulated income. This has led to a surge in demand for travel among the 55+ segment, which is now increasingly aspirational, adventurous, and experience-seeking.

In line with this growing demand, Thomas Cook India has partnered with Gen S Life, a leading lifestyle and community platform for the 55+ demographic. As part of this collaboration, the two brands will host an educational webinar, “Making Pilgrimage Travel Easy & Enjoyable for 55+” on Zoom on Wednesday, 29th October at 11 am. The free webinar is aimed at empowering senior travellers by addressing their unique travel needs through expert guidance. The session will feature renowned choreographer and traveller Sandip Soparrkar, along with Thomas Cook’s expert tour managers, offering practical travel tips, destination insights, and health advice tailored for senior travellers. 

Drawing from Thomas Cook’s extensive spiritual circuits across India and its subcontinent, including Varanasi, Prayagraj, Ayodhya, Mathura, Vrindavan, Bodh Gaya, Pokhara in Nepal and South India’s Madurai, Tirupati, Rameswaram and Kanyakumari — the experts will highlight how convenience and premium comfort are built into every journey: from guided tours and VIP darshans to AC vehicle transfers; aerial Char Dham helicopter journeys that allow seniors to complete the pilgrimage in just 4 days, significantly reducing travel fatigue compared to the traditional 10-day road trip. The company’s Pilgrimage Plus portfolio transforms spiritual travel into a holistic holiday experience, blending darshans with immersive local exploration such as sunset views from the ghats, boating on the Ganges, visits to weavers’ villages in Varanasi, and curated cuisine and cultural trails led by local experts. 

Attendees will also receive exclusive access to customized pilgrimage packages and special senior group offers.

To cater to the Seniors segment, Thomas Cook India will also be launching specialized Group Tours with itineraries which offer support for special dietary needs, handpicked elder friendly hotels with porterage, experienced tour managers accompaniment, entertainment evenings and high quality easy access vehicles to popular international destinations across Europe. 

Mr. Rajeev Kale, President & Country Head, Holidays, MICE, Visa  Thomas Cook (India) Limited said, “In India, the silver economy is expanding rapidly in response to rising longevity, digital inclusion, and higher discretionary income. Seniors are no longer passive travellers; they are curious, confident, eager to explore and have both the means and the time to travel without compromise. 

Our holidays are designed to meet their evolving needs, offering comfort, safety, and enriching experiences. Whether it’s a spiritual journey or a leisure escape, our aim is to make travel seamless and enjoyable for the 55+ community. Our partnership with Gen S Life is a natural extension of this vision, combining our travel expertise with their deep understanding of senior lifestyles to create truly inclusive and empowering travel experiences.”

Ms. Meenakshi Menon, Founder of Gen S Life, said, “For many seniors, a pilgrimage is a deeply personal and significant journey, but the logistics can often be a deterrent. Our partnership with Thomas Cook brings together safety, convenience, and community, allowing seniors to travel without hesitation. This initiative embodies our commitment to helping our community embrace new experiences with enthusiasm and ease. Through this webinar, we aim to spark the confidence in seniors to continue exploring the world, one spiritual destination at a time”.

Gen S Life is an app that offers a comprehensive ecosystem of curated services for the 55+ across health, wellness, finance, travel, safety, support, events, community and more. With over 40K downloads and 15000+ registered users, the platform is committed to empower seniors to lead healthier, safer, more connected, and fulfilling lives. An early believer in the Gen S Life vision, Thomas Cook continues to bring our members exceptional travel experiences at exclusive rates.

About India – AI Impact Summit 2026

Hosted by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, the India – AI Impact Summit 2026 will be held on February 19-20, 2026, in New Delhi. The global platform is set to showcase the transformative role of AI in enabling inclusive development, sustainability, and fostering equitable progress. The Summit charts a path where AI serves humanity, advances inclusive growth, fosters social development, and promotes innovations that protect the planet.

The Three Sutras

The Summit will be anchored on three guiding principles or Sutras:

● People: AI must serve humanity in all its diversity, respecting cultural identities, preserving dignity, and ensuring no one is left behind. Focus areas include human development in an AI-enabled world, multilingual and accessible systems, and safe and trusted deployment.
● Planet: AI development and deployment must be resource-efficient while also accelerating climate resilience, environmental protection, and scientific discoveries. AI must align with planetary stewardship and global sustainability goals.
● Progress: Ensure equitable distribution of AI’s benefits, democratize access to datasets, compute, and models, and apply AI to healthcare, education, governance, and agriculture.

The Seven Chakras

The Sutras are translated into action through seven Chakras, areas of multilateral cooperation designed to deliver tangible outcomes:

1. Human Capital—Address employment, skilling, and workforce transformation. Develop global frameworks for literacy, reskilling, and equitable access to future skills.
2. Inclusion for Social Empowerment—Foster AI that reflects languages, cultures, and identities; ensure accessibility for persons with disabilities; prevent gender and data biases.
3. Safe and Trusted AI – Provide democratized access to safety testing, transparency, and auditing tools; build interoperable governance and assurance mechanisms.
4. Resilience, Innovation, and Efficiency—Promote resource-efficient AI, lightweight and adaptable to local realities, reducing disparities and environmental costs.
5. Science—Expand responsible use of AI to accelerate research and discovery; strengthen ecosystems and partnerships in the Global South; promote open, interdisciplinary research.
6. Democratizing AI Resources—Forge pathways for equitable access to data, compute, models, and critical infrastructure, enabling diverse AI solutions that reflect global realities.
7. AI for Economic Development & Social Good—Identify and scale AI applications in public interest sectors; create platforms for knowledge and resource sharing; enable cross-border collaboration.

As AI adoption increases around the world, the AI Impact Summit charts a discourse around the measurable impact of AI, highlighting India’s role as a global convener for the Global South and beyond. Bringing together world leaders, innovators, policymakers, and industry pioneers, the Summit will shape a shared vision for AI that truly serves the many, not just the few.
