Don’t Forget Elderhostel

I read with interest the article “Now Tourists Can Get Their Kicks and an Education at the Same Time” by Peter S. Greenberg, Aug. 18.

I was amazed that no mention was made of Elderhostel, which has been a leader in education travel programs since 1975 when it was founded. With its programs in all 50 states, all 10 provinces in Canada and over 40 countries overseas, it has programs in over 1,000 different colleges, universities and other educational institutions. It had over 190,000 people participate in its programs last year and the number continues to grow.
