At that time they will demand products, services, and environments addressing their age-related physical changes (U.S. Department of Justice, 2005). Moreover, both in the U.S. and Taiwan, elderly people were more likely to report having a disability than younger people. The results indicated that respondents were very loyal to a hotel that could satisfy their needs. Moreover, their purchasing behaviors and attitudes were strongly correlated.
