We are thrilled to announce the official start of National Travel and Tourism Week, which runs from May 19th to May 25th, 2024. This special week is a time to celebrate the invaluable contributions of the travel and tourism sector, especially here in the Grand Strand. 

The theme focuses on the significant impact tourism has on our community—supporting jobs, boosting the economy, and bringing people together from all walks of life. To help spread this positive message, we've prepared a special "toolkit" for you. In the toolkit you'll find ready-to-use graphics and key messages that highlight why tourism is crucial for our area. We encourage you to share these resources on your websites, social media channels, and through any other preferred communications to help amplify our collective voice.

Download the toolkit for these and additional social media graphics and messaging.

We invite each of you to engage in this initiative by posting your own stories and experiences that showcase the benefits of tourism. Share why tourism matters to you and our community using the hashtags #TourismWorks and #NTTW24. Your stories are powerful testimonials to the role tourism plays in enriching our lives and the fabric of the Grand Strand.

In celebration of your participation, we’ve launched a locals only page which includes exclusive discounts and offers to Grand Strand Residents. Go to VisitMyrtleBeach.com/locals for access.

Together, let’s make this National Travel and Tourism Week a resounding success and spread the word about the positive effects of tourism in our community. We look forward to seeing your contributions and celebrating with you!

Thank you for your continued support and membership.
