The Accidental Operator

Bed and breakfast inns aren’t typical lodging for packaged tours.

But when California Travel and Tourism Commission member Rick Anderson went to Japan with a trade mission headed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger last fall, he was told that Japanese wanted to see more than just major attractions.

So Anderson, the president of the California Association of B & Bs; and owner of Casa Tropicana in San Clemente, invited some of the Japanese tour operators to come visit.

“One of the main themes we heard from the tour operators was that the Japanese are getting away from tour bus trips and wanted to know how to see the real California,” he said.

In January, six Japanese visitors came for a week, traveling by van and plane from Orange County to San Francisco.
