When Elderhostel began there was an age requirement of 55+. But In 2009, Elderhostel decided to get rid of all age requirements. They now accept over 100,000 adults every year of all ages and operate in over 90 countries. More information on Elderhostel may be found under the name Exploritas.

Originally, Elderhostel did have an age minimum of 60 years old, but in the 1990's, the age minimum dropped to 55. Currently, there is no set age minimum. Instead, the organization simply states that the program is intended for adults.
