Abstract

The fast world population aging process leads to a necessity of studies that contribute to encourage initiatives that promote a social integration and wellness of the elderly. When focusing the “look” in the “subjects of the tourism”, is possible to observe a lack of studies that attempt to these touristic possibilities for old age pensioners, and, usually forgotten by the society. Facing that, this investigation, of qualitative cut, used the told life story of 14 elderly from the old age home Asilo Padre Cacique, in Porto Alegre, to verify if the insertion of leisure and tourism activities in this home can contribute for a better life quality and wellness of their residents, besides of identifying the meaning of tourism for this elderly. The results evidence the necessity of actions that focus in the human element as the beginning of leisure and tourism practices.
