Hostelling not _ just for the young As the International Youth Hostel Federation approach- es its 50th anniversary, the organization is faced with an image problem! Most people still think that you have to be young in order to use a hostel and that we only have hostels in Europe. Not true! The IYHF has a network of over 4,500 hostels in more than 60 countries. In recent years there has been consi- derable expansion, most notably in Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Asia. ~) PARTS” [Honma] SERVICE am. oe BCAA APPROVED, ICBC VENDOR, 1978 SERVICE AWARD . Although hostels are pri- marily used by young people, there is only one country, Bavaria, which has an age limit (27 years). Some other areas may give preference to people under 25, but only if the hostel is crowded and there ts a line-up. There is an_ increasing trend by countries in the IYHF to promote hostelling by both families and older people. We feel that in view of the economic situation and the devalued dollar, many fation, which is- people may be interested in hostelling when they travel. Hostelling offers a great opportunity for travellers to meet other people from all over the world, and provides very economical accommo- dation. The average cost of over- night accommodation at a hostel is just under $3.00, although = this = obviously varies from country to country.
