Coming from Australia, we first connected with San Luis Obispo (SLO) County when traveling through several years ago, staying at a lovely hotel in Paso Robles, and visiting local hospitality venues; we felt a warm welcome.  Since then we had a dream of extending our business and vision to the SLO county region of California.

Last year we decided to come to California to travel, pursue our dreams and explore collaboration opportunities for our unique outdoor tourism hospitality experiences.

Not knowing anyone in SLO, and from previous experience, we found the regional economic development association as a driver opportunities and supporter of innovative concepts and businesses. We reached out to Economic Vitality Corporation (EVC) and the welcome, support, networking and professionalism was honestly incredible; passionate, organized and like nothing we have experienced previously.

In a very short span of time, we made lasting connections, met passionate local people, explored stunning and unique landscapes, opportunities and are now setting up our business in the City of San Luis Obispo, pursuing meaningful collaborations and unique projects; the experience and process has been really dynamic.
