This study examines the content of tourism discussions within seniors' online communities through an online ethnography approach, analyzing data from 14 leading platforms over a year. Findings highlight three key content categories: Practical information exchange, search for contacts, and travel stories, alongside specific age-related themes like retirement, seniors' tours, health concerns, and special rates. The study demonstrates how these communities are valuable resources for older adults in planning and reflecting on travel, offering a space to address age-specific issues.
