Actively responding to the aging of the population and developing aging industries that are beneficial to physical and mental health are related to national development and people’s livelihood. Elderly tourism has increasingly become a research hotspot in academia. Previous studies generally regarded health as a restrictive factor for elderly tourism, but few explored the impact of tourism on the health of the elderly. This article uses the 2018 data of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS), and uses the ordered Probit model and the instrumental variable method to empirically analyze the relationship between tourism and the health status of the elderly in China. The results show that: 1) Travel has a significant positive impact on the physical and mental state of the elderly, that is, tourism can promote the health of the elderly; 2) For the elderly at this stage, tourism is still a relatively luxurious activity. In the past two years, less than 16% of the elderly have travelled, and the average number of trips is only about 0.515; 3) Compared with the elderly over 80 years old, tourism promotes the health status of the 60~80 years old more significantly; 4) Tourism has a more significant impact on the health status of elderly people who are registered in rural areas, engaged in agricultural work, and do not live alone. The research results have certain guiding significance for the government and related enterprises to fully understand the role of tourism in promoting the health of the elderly, thereby promoting the development of tourism products suitable for the elderly and promoting the development of an active aging society.
