Agents see the real Santa Monica

-

EXCITE Holidays, Santa Monica Travel & Tourism and Delta Air Lines recently took agents on a fun-filled four-day adventure to Santa Monica to showcase all that the Los Angeles beach city has to offer.

From accommodat­ion to world-class eateries, fun activities and some of the best views on the US West Coast, the lucky agents experience­d it all. After arriving at LAX on a Delta Air Lines flight, the agents were taken to Shore Hotel and Hotel Shangri-La in Santa Monica, where they were based for the duration of the trip.

From here, the agents shopped up a storm at Santa Monica Place, rode segways with Segway LA, visited the Gourmandis­e School of Sweets & Savories Cooking Class and indulged their taste buds at popular eateries including Curious Palate, Kitchen Courtyard, Cassia, Blue Plate Taco and The Albright. They even had free time to explore Downtown Santa Monica, Ocean Avenue, Pacific Park, Santa Monica Pier and Downtown Los Angeles.

The group also had the pleasure of visiting ONYX at Hotel Shangri-La for sunset drinks, Huntley Santa Monica Beach Hotel and Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows for breakfast, as well as Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel and Hotel Carmel.

The trip was hosted by Excite Holidays’ Mark Morrow, with Todd Mitsuhata and Kylie Gill from Santa Monica Travel & Tourism, Lucy Zatloukal from Shore Hotel Santa Monica and Dustin Hess from Hotel Shangri-La. The incredible trip gave the agents a chance to experience all that Santa Monica has to offer, from the popular tourist hot spots to the local favourites - a trip to remember! A FAREWELL Breakfast at Fig Restaurant, Fairmont Santa Monica.
