Marketing agency One Fell Swoop, in conjunction with the Property Council, is hosting a unique educational tour down the coast of California.

A remarkable program, it extends beyond innovations in retirement living to exposure to the leading examples of hospitality and experiential services in a built form. Included in the tour is behind the scenes of Trip Advisors 2014 Hotel of the Year and a Michelin-stared restaurant, to name just a few.

Also visited will be the six star seniors living San Francisco Towers plus Vivante in LA, and San Diegos La Costa Glen.

We did a similar, remarkable tour in 2011 of San Francisco (pictured). This trip raises the bar.
For more information please contact Rob Macpherson at One Fell Swoop (0420 947 151) or Andrew Lowcock at the Retirement Living Council (02 6276 3603) or click HERE.
