Twist Travel - The Art of Sea, Sand, and Sky, by Leisure Care Travel
From the issue: January 2010 Quarterly
 
 
 
 

While most retirement communities are looking for ways to attract new residents, there are some that have been busy helping residents find a way to leave. Well, at least for a few days at a time. Twist Travel is a full-service travel agency that specializes in helping seniors explore the world. We specialize in reasonably priced, fully-escorted tour packages that are all about fun. However, we can also coordinate weekend getaways, a trip to visit the grandkids, or a long overdue family reunion. From start to finish, our travel agents make the process of planning the excursion as fun as actually taking the vacation. 
The spirit of adventure never fades. We all have a strong desire to travel, learn, and experience the world. Twist Travel makes this fun and easy. Our group-travel programs have a higher ratio of staff to participants than most group tour providers. The travel staff is chosen from employees at our partner, Leisure Care retirement communities. Leisure Care operates 36 independent and assisted living communities throughout the US and Canada. They focus on creating living environments that deliver outstanding customer service, innovative programs, and engaging activities. Together, we understand your specific needs, and will be able to anticipate and handle all the details of your trip. So you can just sit back and relax, because, as far as we're concerned, you should have no concerns.
For all your personal travel needs or to participate in any of our top-rated group travel excursions, please call us toll-free at 1-888-644-4002 or email Debbie Horton at dhorton@twisttravel.com.
