Last week the RVA played host to 10 Chinese delegates who have toured through a number of RVA member high-end, vertical retirement villages across Australia.
The delegation belongs to the Ageing Industry Association of China and consists of individuals that belong to large organisations that are developing or are about to develop an ageing industry program throughout China.
The tour follows the news that NZ owned company Ryman Healthcare is keen on developing a village in Australia as the RVA reported a fortnight ago. The Chinese delegation further validates that the retirement village industry in Australia is gaining further international exposure and attracting interest from overseas investors.
The delegation arrived in Brisbane and paid a visit to Yeronga Village and Elements Third Age Living. They then visited Waterbrook in Greenwich and Yowie Bay in Sydney followed by Classic Residences in Brighton, Menzies Malvern and Rylands of Hawthorn in Melbourne.
The visitors were then whisked away to WA to visit Bethanie Village and St Ives in Subiaco before departing for China.
Australians have the opportunity to attend an international tour to Washington next October as part of a delegation on a SAGE tour. Register your interest in attending now.

As Australian companies, we beleiev that we have a lot to offer. We are currently pursuing some retirement projects in China, and would like to contact these China companies. Would it be possible to get the names of the Chinese visitors?
