Budget Travel: ‘Elderhostel’ is now ‘Exploritas’ – and greatly changed

Elderhostel has changed, and the organization has changed its name to Exploritas. It is no longer only for the elderly; it frequently makes use of standard hotels; and its instruction often takes place outside the classroom, in active touring of the area in which it takes place.
