hostels for mature travellers

la descripción "maduro" en español puede comenzar a los 40 años, pero en inglés los 40 años es "middle age", entonces "mature" se puede usar para la gente de 50 años y más

agree Black & White : I like your use of "mature" in this context, as opposed to "old aged" or "senior"

thanks Jean
agree Mónica Ameztoy de Andrada : creo que "mature" es un eufemismo que que baja el límite de edad de la clientela en10 o 15 años con respecto a lo que dice el original. La "tercera edad" comienza entre los 60 y 65 años, dependiendo de los países, pero no a los 50. ¡Yo tengo 50! :)

Elder hostel

Si es para "alojamiento temporal".
Puede revisar la página "Center on Aging Studies without Walls" (sección de actividades) donde hablan al respecto:
"The Elder hostel concept grew out of the assumption that older adults wish to continue learning. Marty Knowlton created the Elder hostel program at the University of New Hampshire in 1974. It now boasts programs at 2000 institutions in 70 countries. "
Peer comment(s):

neutral Nedra Rivera Huntington : I'm pretty sure this is a specific program.

Yes, but it is also used in many Google pages
neutral Refugio : Elderhostel is a group educational travel program which usually lodges participants in college dormitories during vacations or off-seasons.

El contexto del original es para residencias temporales durante las vacaciones. También lo encontré en otros sitios de empresas privadas y gubernamentales.
