Abstract:

The objective of the research study was to determine the factors considered by the retirees in engaging in recreational activities. The study employed a convenience sampling method in selecting the respondents of the study from the five progressive barangays of Baliwag, Bulacan who are retirees from various public and private institutions. Survey questionnaire was the primary data gathering instrument used in the study. Interviews were done to crosscheck certain responses found in the questionnaire checklist. Based on the results of the study, most of the respondents were moderately engaged in indoor games, hobbies, dining and relaxation, travel and social/community-based activities. The factors they considered in engaging in recreational activities are financial status, health status or condition and motivation or the benefits of engaging in a particular recreational activity. Among the (3) three factors, benefits of the recreational activity have a higher effect on the engagement of retirees towards recreational activities. It is recommended that travel agencies, hotels and transport agencies create a unique kind of itinerary and provide special facilities to cater to the needs of travelling retirees.
