Why is this offer only good for travelers who are between the ages of 18-35? My wife and I love traveling in the USA, Canada, and Europe and we only stay at HI hostels. We love interacting with the young people from all over the world who share our wanderlust. As a matter of fact, we are currently planning a year of traveling after my wife retires in November, 2018.
Hi, Kim, thanks for your question! It’s a competition run by WYSE, the World Youth and Student Exchange, and they are offering an incentive provided by us – a 3 night stay for 2 in any of our hostels. So while the prize is a stay with us, the competition is run by them, and as such it is up to WYSE to select the criteria to incentivize youth to participate in their survey, which is meant to gather information about the youth travel market so that they may promote and develop opportunities for young travellers and the industries that serve them. I’m sorry for any confusion this may have caused!

Thank you
I like Hostelling International……. I stayed at Heidelberg, Berlin, Chicago, New York and Austria.
I m 66 years old, from Malaysia and I had often stayed in HI when I travelled in US, Canada, Iceland and Finland. So why fixed the age at 18-35?

Yes, us non-youth do stay at hostels! Perhaps a separate contest for us non-youth.
