'The boomers have arrived', says Kaye Fallick, publisher of seniors website YourLifeChoices. 'Many of them are reaching their 60s and transitioning into retirement. They no longer have the 9am-5pm burden, the kids are leaving home, and they realise that they can't wait forever to do their bucket list.'Australian Bureau of Statistics figures show that the key age group for short-term departures has shifted from 45-49 in 2002 to 50-54 in 2012. A survey by YourLifeChoices also reveals that most are travelling to the UK, followed by New Zealand, the US, France and Italy.
