ABOUT PATRICK MASON
Patrick Mason is a nationally recognized expert on tourism and in-migration trends, relocation research and destination marketing. Raised in Minnesota, he earned a business degree from Denver University and spent ten years in marketing at Marriott in Washington DC, Chicago and New York.
In 1983, he was recruited to Columbia to administer a $6 million marketing budget for US Capital Corporation, a national real estate development firm. That company sold $600 million dollars worth of resort condos during Pat's three-year tenure.
Following the real estate law fiasco in 1986, Pat and his wife, Leyla, launched a firm specializing in destination research and marketing. An unusual partnership was forged between business leaders and the South Carolina Tourism Department to fund economic impact research on in-migration and to promote the Carolinas nationally. Today that division is called the Center For Carolina Living, which produces consumer resource tools including the CarolinaLiving.com Guide To Relocation & Retirement, the monthly Compass E-news and CarolinaLiving.com.
