LOS ANGELES - s4story -- With more seniors looking for meaningful travel experiences without spending more than necessary, a new comparison from the Thrifty Senior Traveler examines two of the best-known companies serving mature travelers: Overseas Adventure Travel (OAT) and Road Scholar.

The comparison, published on the Thrifty Senior Traveler website, looks at the advantages and disadvantages of each company and highlights several factors that travelers may want to consider before booking their next adventure.

"Both companies are leading providers of excellent tours for seniors," explains Jesse Slome, creator of the Thrifty Senior Traveler. "I've taken 19 different trips with OAT, and I have good friends who regularly travel with Road Scholar. I think both deserve consideration, but there are differences that can make one a better choice for a particular traveler."

According to Slome, the comparison goes beyond the basic question of where each company travels. It examines issues including trip style, solo travel opportunities, educational and cultural experiences, and potential savings for repeat travelers.

"One factor that can easily be overlooked is what happens after you take your first trip," Slome says. "OAT provides a Frequent Traveler Credit that can be applied toward the cost of another trip. For someone who travels frequently, a credit based on the trip price can become a significant savings."

Solo travelers can also benefit from comparing the two companies. Both OAT and Road Scholar offer programs designed to accommodate people traveling alone, including opportunities that can reduce or eliminate the financial impact of traditional single supplements.

"The ability to avoid paying a single supplement can save a senior traveler thousands of dollars over multiple trips," Slome adds. "When cost is a factor—and it often is for seniors who want to travel well while staying within a budget—comparing options before booking can be a very worthwhile investment of time."

Slome created the Thrifty Senior Traveler to help like-minded older travelers discover ways to travel more, experience new destinations and potentially save money along the way. The website features travel tips, senior travel information, travel deals and reviews based on Slome's own experiences.

"I'm not trying to tell people which company to choose," Slome says. "I'm trying to give travelers information that can help them decide which company and which trip is right for them."
