The tour will visit the most mature classics of New Urbanism, such as Seaside and Celebration, as well as a range of impressive recent projects and some of the best traditional urbanism of the region, including Miami’s South Beach, Savannah and Charleston.

Tentatively timed for May 2012, either just before or just after the CNU 20 Congress (May 9-12), West Palm Beach, Florida.

Estimated Cost

The ACNU Florida/South Carolina Tour component, based on 40 people and twin share accommodation is estimated at around AUD $4500 (based on 65 cents exchange rate). Single room supplement will be around AUD$1000 extra. These cost estimates allow for all meals during the Tour.

The cost of the return air fare Australia to USA is additional. Based on current United and Qantas internet fares, allow: AUD $3500 - $4500. (Note that individuals may be able to source significantly cheaper fares through the normal discount channels.)

Attendance at the annual CNU Congress will be at additional cost.

In summary, we suggest at this stage to allow around AUD $8000-9000 for the TOUR ONLY, and AUD $9000-10,000 for the TOUR + CNU option. Who knows what the exchange rate will do!
