The company’s research showed there is a rising trend of over 50s considering career changes or adjusting their work schedules to accommodate travel aspirations.

Hilton's research also revealed that many workers over 50 are motivated to switch jobs due to burnout from their current office-based roles.

Steve Cassidy, Hilton’s senior vice president and managing director, said: “With most working lives stretching through several decades, people are increasingly exploring a second career later in life.

“This growing trend is leading to an upsurge in demand for roles that offer something wholly different, and hospitality has a role to suit every path, whether that’s more flexibility to travel, a more active working life away from a traditional desk job, or a pathway back into work after a period of looking after family members.”
