Exploring the World on Your Own: Solo Tours for Seniors

Traveling solo can be a liberating and rewarding experience, especially for seniors. With solo tours, seniors can explore the world on their own terms and enjoy the freedom of being able to choose their own activities and destinations. Here are some tips for making the most of a solo tour.

Benefits of Solo Tours

Solo tours offer a number of benefits for seniors. For one, they allow seniors to travel at their own pace and explore destinations without having to worry about coordinating with other travelers. Additionally, solo tours give seniors the opportunity to meet new people and make connections with locals in different countries. Finally, solo tours provide an opportunity for self-discovery and personal growth as seniors can take time to reflect on their experiences without having to worry about accommodating others.

Choosing a Tour Company

When selecting a tour company, it’s important to consider the type of experience you’re looking for. Some tour companies specialize in luxury experiences while others focus on budget-friendly options. It’s also important to research the safety record of each company and read reviews from previous customers before making a decision. Additionally, it’s important to make sure that the company offers support services such as medical assistance or emergency evacuation in case of an emergency.

Preparing for Your Trip

Once you’ve chosen a tour company, it’s time to start preparing for your trip. Make sure that you have all necessary documents such as passports and visas in order before you leave. Additionally, it’s important to research your destination so that you know what kind of clothing and supplies you should bring with you. Finally, make sure that you have adequate travel insurance coverage in case something goes wrong during your trip.

By following these tips, seniors can make the most out of their solo tours and enjoy all that traveling has to offer.

Saudi Arabia to host Next Gen ATP Finals from 2023 to 2027

Aug 24 (Reuters) - The season-ending Next Gen Finals for men's under-21 tennis players will be held in the Saudi Arabian city of Jeddah from 2023 to 2027 as the ATP makes its first competitive foray into the Gulf state, the men's governing body said on Thursday.

The award of the tournament marks the latest move in world sport by Saudi Arabia which has pumped massive amounts of money into golf and soccer among others in recent years, drawing some scrutiny in the process.

The hardcourt tournament, which has been played in Milan since it began in 2017, will also have its prize money increased to a record $2 million, up from $1.4 million last year.

The ATP launched a bidding process in March to evaluate host cities in several regions before finalising on the Saudi Arabian port city of Jeddah, with the King Abdullah Sports City indoor facility staging the event this year from Nov. 28-Dec. 2.

"The ATP Tour is truly global and exploring new markets is central to growing the game. Bringing the Next Gen ATP Finals to Jeddah is our chance to inspire new fans, in a region with a vast young population, and unite audiences around tennis," ATP Chairman Andrea Gaudenzi said in a statement.

"Our congratulations go to Jeddah and the Saudi Tennis Federation. We look forward to building on the event's incredible success together."

Gaudenzi said earlier this year there had also been positive discussions with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) and other potential investors on projects including infrastructure, events and technology investment.

Critics accuse Saudi Arabia of using the PIF to engage in "sportswashing" in the face of heavy criticism of the country's human rights record.

World number one Carlos Alcaraz, 20, had welcomed the news then saying he had "no doubts" he would compete in Saudi Arabia at some point and added that the country has the power to hold plenty of tournaments.

EXHIBITION TOURNAMENT

Although other Gulf countries like Qatar and the United Arab Emirates have hosted ATP tournaments in the past, Saudi Arabia only had the Diriyah Tennis Cup - an exhibition tournament.

Top players including Daniil Medvedev and Stan Wawrinka had competed in that event, which held its second edition last year.

Three-times Grand Slam winner Andy Murray had previously ruled out any possibility of playing in Saudi Arabia after being invited to exhibition tournaments but said he would have to think twice if ranking points were up for grabs.

In June, WTA CEO Steve Simon said the women's tour had not made any decisions or entered into any formal negotiations with Saudi Arabia, saying they still posed "big issues" as a host for women's events due to its record on women's rights and those of the LGBTQ community.

Tunisian world number five Ons Jabeur said at Wimbledon last month that Saudi Arabian interest in tennis was welcome and that she would play in WTA events there if players were benefited.

However, Russia's Daria Kasatkina expressed reservations, saying that "not everything is about money".

Social media rumours said its season-ending WTA Finals could potentially be headed to Saudi Arabia in the future but the WTA told Reuters no decision has been made yet.

"As with all decisions regarding the future of the WTA, we are working closely with players and focused on continuing to build a strong future for women's tennis," the WTA said.

Who has qualified for the 2024 ATP Next Gen Finals?

As of now, no players have been confirmed for the 2024 edition. The top two players 21 and under, Carlos Alcaraz and Holger Rune , will unlikely play the event as they will qualify for the season-ending ATP Finals.

What innovations can be expected at the Next Gen Finals?

As in previous years, the courts will be marked up only for singles and electronic line calling is used throughout. The Next Gen Finals have been used as a platform to test other innovations, so it is likely that more will be announced closer to the time.

Who won the Next Gen Finals last time round?

Brandon Nakashima won the 2022 ATP Next Gen Finals, beating Jiri Lehecka 4-3 (5), 4-3 (6), 4-2.

2022 – Brandon Nakashima 2021 – Carlos Alcaraz 2020 – not held 2019 – Jannik Sinner 2018 – Stefanos Tsitsipas 2017 – Hyeon Chung

Previous winners have gone on to achieve great things.

Carlos Alcaraz became the youngest ever world No 1 when he won his first Grand Slam title at the US Open in September 2022.

Sinner broke into the world’s top 10 in 2021.

Tsitsipas has gone on to rise to world No 3, winning the ATP World Tour Finals in 2019, although as yet has no Grand Slam titles to his name. He reached the Roland-Garros final in 2021, but dropped a two-set lead to allow Novak Djokovic to lift the trophy.

Hyeon Chung has a career-high ranking of world No 19, achieved in April 2018, but has struggled with a serious wrist injury.

What prizes are on offer at the Next Gen Finals?

Total prize money at the 2023 Next Gen Finals is $2 million.

Saudi Arabia to host Next Gen ATP Finals through 2027

• ESPN News Services

Saudi Arabia will host the men's tennis tour's Next Gen ATP Finals in Jeddah through 2027 under an agreement announced Thursday.

The end-of-season tournament for the ATP's top 21-and-under players will be held this year at the King Abdullah Sports City on an indoor hard court from Nov. 28 to Dec. 2.

"The ATP Tour is truly global and exploring new markets is central to growing the game. Bringing the Next Gen ATP Finals to Jeddah is our chance to inspire new fans, in a region with a vast young population, and unite audiences around tennis," ATP chairman Andrea Gaudenzi said in a statement.

The event's prize money will rise to $2 million, a jump of more than 40% from the $1.4 million handed out in 2022, when the last of five editions was held in Milan.

It is the first time an official ATP event will be held in Saudi Arabia and is part of a recent trend involving various sports linking with the kingdom's sovereign wealth fund that claims assets of about $700 billion.

The PGA Tour, European Tour and Saudi-funded LIV Golf announced a collaboration last month. Formula One started holding a race in Saudi Arabia in 2021, the same year the kingdom bought English soccer club Newcastle United. Saudi soccer teams have been signing big-name players, including Cristiano Ronaldo.

WTA chairman Steve Simon visited the kingdom with tennis players in February, and he acknowledged shortly before Wimbledon that his tour will "continue to have conversations" with the Saudis.

The WTA also told Reuters that no decision has been made on holding events, including the season-ending WTA Finals, in the country.

"As with all decisions regarding the future of the WTA, we are working closely with players and focused on continuing to build a strong future for women's tennis," the WTA said.

In recent years, Saudi Arabia has enacted wide-ranging social reforms, including granting women the right to drive and largely dismantling male guardianship laws that had allowed husbands and male relatives to control many aspects of women's lives. But same-sex relations are punishable by death or flogging, although prosecutions are rare, all forms of LGBTQ+ advocacy are banned, and the government has severely cracked down on any form of political dissent, arresting women's rights activists and other critics and sentencing them to long prison terms and travel bans, sometimes on the basis of a few tweets.

• Next Gen Finals features top U-21 tennis stars competing at the end of the season
• Women’s edition could potentially be added in combined event

Saudi Arabian city Jeddah is the leading bidder to host the Association of Tennis Professionals ( ATP )’s Next Gen Finals, according to multiple reports.

First held in 2017, the Next Gen ATP Finals is an annual men’s tennis tournament organised by the elite men’s circuit and featuring the top under-21 ranked players of the season. Past winners include Italy’s Jannik Sinner, Spanish world number two Carlos Alcaraz, and American top-50 player Brandon Nakashima, who won last year’s edition.

WTA ‘received enquiries’ from Saudi Arabia over staging tour event

The competition has been held in the Italian city of Milan since its inception, but reports now suggest that Saudi Arabia is the frontrunner to take on its hosting rights. According to The Telegraph , a five-year agreement is close for Jeddah to host the Next Gen event and become the first professional tennis tournament to be held in the Gulf state. The newspaper reports that despite Jeddah not putting in a significantly higher bid than other cities, it leads the race for the hosting rights as the ATP is keen to cultivate closer ties to the Middle East.

In addition, the Next Gen event could potentially become a combined event for men and women, with talks between the ATP and the Women’s Tennis Association ( WTA ) having already taken place last year. According to the Daily Mail , a possible introduction of a women’s edition could take place around 2025.

Saudi Arabia already stages an exhibition tournament in the Diriyah Cup, which has featured top players on the men’s tour. Last year, US tennis star Taylor Fritz won the tournament, winning a lucrative US$1 million in the process.

SportsPro says…

Saudi Arabia’s drive to host major sporting events doesn’t seem to be slowing down any time soon. As well as being the hosts of the 2023 Fifa Club World Cup and the 2029 Asian Winter Games , the Gulf nation has been linked with a second Formula One Grand Prix , the 2030 Fifa World Cup and even the Olympics.

Should Jeddah be confirmed as the host of the Next Gen event, the ATP should expect to face criticism. Last year, British tennis icon Andy Murray ruled out any possibility of playing in Saudi Arabia, while Amnesty International has previously urged those competing at the Diriyah Cup to speak out against the country’s human rights record.

The addition of a women’s edition of the event would also be a major step for Saudi Arabia’s tennis ambitions, given it has already inquired about staging a WTA Tour event. Given the country’s record of limiting women from participating in sports, it would prove a controversial move by the WTA, which recently ended its boycott of China despite not finding answers over the welfare of former player Peng Shuai.
