 The two criticisms most frequently heard of
Strength through Joy trips are that they are too
strenuous and too overcrowded, and it is known
definitely that these objections have served to
keep many workers away. The concensus of opinion is what the shorter trips, as well as the
longer journeys which cover a great deal of territory, are indeed strenuous and overcrowded.  On

seen, and that companionship between people of
the same age relieves to some extent the strain
of crowding. An elderly person seeking rest may
find it on a visit to a seaside resort where he
is lodged in a private house and is left pretty

strenuous excursion and is dissatisfied, it is
held to be his own fault, and he will probably be
better advised to choose another type of vacation
