NDRC proposes increasing the supply of silver-haired tourism trains and cruise travel products

On November 10, 2026, at the "15th Five-Year Plan" series press conference, the National Development and Reform Commission stated that it will increase the supply of silver-haired tourism trains and cruise travel products and create high-quality destinations for living and retirement. Huang Weiru, deputy director of the Social Development Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that the next step will focus on three areas: strengthening elderly care security and health support, expanding the supply of high-quality products and services, and optimizing the market environment. Specific measures include continuing to implement the elderly care service consumption subsidy policy for moderately and above disabled elderly people, advancing the expansion and upgrading of the "quarter-hour convenient living circle," and studying the establishment of a certification system for silver-haired products and services. The relevant measures are still at the deployment stage proposed at the press conference, and no subsequent implementation arrangements have been reported.
