WELCOME TO Myrtle Beach

Miles of beautiful sandy beaches, inviting Southern hospitality and impressive meeting and event facilities are just a few of the many advantages to planning group travel to the Myrtle Beach area of South Carolina. This southern beach destination – known by locals as “The Grand Strand" – boasts a warm subtropical climate and 60-miles of uninterrupted coastline edged by the sparkling Atlantic Ocean. Wide stretches of sand and the sound of waves offer the perfect backdrop for successful and well attended events, compliments of Mother Nature that naturally allow for social distancing. Whether you’re organizing a family reunion, convention, business meeting, sports event or motorcoach tour, the staff of the Myrtle Beach Area CVB is ready to create the experience tailored specifically to your group needs. Group travelers often enjoy the same activities that bring millions annually to The Beach. Time outside of meetings can be spent taking a long meandering walk down Myrtle Beach’s 1.2-mile long award-winning oceanfront Boardwalk and Promenade filled with shops, carnival-like

entertainment, dining, beach access, a pier, and the 200-foot-high SkyWheel Myrtle Beach. You may also enjoy an afternoon round of golf at one of the more than 90 championship courses, many of which offer spectacular oceanside views.

For thrill seekers, Myrtle Beach’s water parks, theme parks, such as the new addition of the Funplex, parasailing, and many other attractions guarantee fun wherever you go. Those looking for a little rest and relaxation can indulge in one of the Grand Strand’s many fantastic spas, relax poolside, or enjoy a shopping trip. Both of our Tanger Outlet centers along with Barefoot Landing, Broadway at the Beach, and Coastal Grand Mall offer exceptional variety and value, while specialty boutiques at The Market Common and the Hammock Shops Village are easy to find and fun to shop. Evenings and dining out with your group are sure to be memorable as well. There are over 1,800 area restaurants offering a wide variety of tasting experiences using locally sourced produce and seafood. Give your palate a jolt of new, fresh flavors and cuisine ranging from farm-to-table and reel-to-table to Calabash and Lowcountry, often infused with a French, Southern, and/or Asian chef inspired style. In

addition to traditional restaurants, the new International Culinary Institute of Myrtle Beach at Horry Georgetown Technical College offers individuals and groups unique classes as well as teambuilding events and demonstrations including the art of barbequing, wine pairing, and chocolate and pastry creations. If that’s not enough, after enjoying an amazing culinary experience, an evening spent at one of the area’s live theaters is a perfect complement to a great day. Check out a myriad of awardwinning shows at The Alabama Theatre, The Carolina Opry, Legends in Concert and Broadway Theater. Or, enjoy a little magic, comedy, and fun in an intimate setting at the GTS Theatre, Broasway Theatre. There’s also the opportunity to travel back in time and experience knights and pirates at either Medieval Times or Pirates Voyage dinner theaters. Each group traveling to the area requires an individual and memorable experience, and the Grand Strand’s eclectic and ever-growing mix of activities and accommodations will ensure that happens. This guide will help allow you to explore the many facets of our beautiful coastal destination and highlight how The Beach can best accommodate the

TESTIMONIALS

What others are saying

Our clients love Myrtle Beach! It is one destination that we include in our schedule every year and have been for many years. There is no shortage of quality and reasonable lodging, lots of yummy places to eat, excellent entertainment possibilities and of course one of the loveliest beaches in the world! If you haven't tried Myrtle Beach as a destination you are missing out on one of the best! ~ Dave Baer, Baer Express Tours

I received the “Save the Date” cards for our 2018 conference in Myrtle Beach. They are simply gorgeous. You folks have been so kind and generous to provide these cards for our conference as well as giving us permission to use your artwork as our conference theme. Please accept my sincere thanks, again, for all of your assistance. You’ve been a delight to work with! ~ A . Renee’ Epting, Southeast Region of the Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurses Society

Bill and I want to express our sincere appreciation for the wonderful experience we had last week in learning about Myrtle Beach. The staff of the CVB went above and beyond to assure that our group experienced the flavor and essence of Myrtle Beach!

~ Utocqua R. Grissett, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc.

For the last 10 years I have been sending groups to Myrtle Beach. There is not another destination I work with than does what these folks do. When they say “Our local experts will assist you with all your group planning needs”, they actually mean it. They make me look really good year after year. My clients think I am a genius. Little do they know it is “My Team” at the Myrtle Beach Area CVB making my trips a big hit!!! ~ Tom Rush, Travel Lovers

The Myrtle Beach Area CVB connected us with various travel resources, multiple hotels, and printing agencies in the area to meet our housing and transportation needs for over 3,500 attendees during our 63rd South Atlantic Regional Conference. This team is to be commended for going over and beyond the call of duty! We would strongly recommend the Myrtle Beach Area of CVB to assist any large group with meeting their goals for future events on the Grand Strand.

~ B ecky Peterson, Executive Director – Association of Procurement Technical Assistance Centers

The Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce and Convention & Visitors Bureau, went above and beyond the call of duty to aid in the support and success of the South Atlantic Shrine Association’s 2016 Fall Festival. This year’s success could not have been achieved without their guidance and involvement and we look forward to working with their team in the future. ~ Gordon M. Ellis, III, South Atlantic Shrine Association 2016

While planning our annual fall meeting of the American Hemerocallis (daylily) Society's National Board of Directors, I had the privilege of working with the staff at the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce and Convention & Visitors Bureau. Thanks to their area expertise, their patience and guidance with my everchanging requests, and their perfectly selected items, there is no doubt that our October meeting will be a great success for our 40 out of town/out-of-state guests.

~ Janice Ullmeyer, Georgetown Area Daylily Club

After being in the travel industry for 45 years and having my own tour company for 16 years, I can honestly tell you that Myrtle Beach is a destination YOU should be bringing your groups to. Over the years it has evolved to the point where it truly does have something for everyone. It is also a very affordable destination and though not a walking city, it is easy to get around and very hard to get lost ~ Paulette Isoldi, Paul-Marc Tours

HOST Great Meetings

LOCATION

Conveniently located in the heart of Myrtle Beach, the Myrtle Beach Convention Center offers space to “Host Great Meetings.” Just 10 minutes from the Myrtle Beach International Airport, blocks from the ocean, and seamlessly connected to the 400room Sheraton Convention Center Hotel, the Myrtle Beach Convention Center has the technology IT team, culinary options, and professional staff to cater to the needs of every meeting and event planner. The convention center is a perfect venue for association, corporate, education and government meetings, as well as national and regional trade shows, faith-based conferences, concerts, large sporting events, tournaments and more.

AMPLE SPACE FOR SUCCESSFUL SHOWS

The 100,800 square-foot, columnfree exhibit space can be divided into three sections, with the ability to convert one section to an area seat more than 2,500 people, making it the perfect home for general sessions and/or large assemblies. Thirty five-foot ceilings also leave plenty of room to accommodate most exhibits or a production crew’s needs. The convention center’s 11 dedicated docks and drive-in access areas to each hall ensure that every event moves in and out on time and on budget.

MEET & MINGLE IN SPACIOUS COMFORT

Our 17,000 square-foot ballroom was recently renovated from ceiling to floor, creating a refreshed, memorable experience at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center. This impressive space is perfect for elegant banquets for 1,000 or more guests. The grand

ballroom can also be divided to accommodate up to five large meetings simultaneously. Seventeen additional meeting rooms, ranging in size and flexibility, are conveniently located adjacent to the Ballroom and just steps from the Exhibit Hall.

SPORTS FACITITIES & Golf


SPORTS Facilities & Golf

Sports tourism remains a top driver of the group sales market for the sixty miles of the Grand Strand. The Myrtle Beach area continues to be well positioned as a destination within the regional and national sports tourism event industry. Combining our picturesque beach location, hotels and attractions with our worldclass venues, the future remains bright for continued growth in sports tourism.

The venues in the Myrtle Beach region rival any across the county. And the range of sporting events held at these venues runs the full spectrum from basketball to baseball to track and field to volleyball and softball. Non-traditional events such as cornhole, cheer, dance, wrestling and gymnastics are growing and finding the value in bringing their events to Myrtle Beach. These events take over our ball fields and courts, while filling our hotels, attractions and restaurants. And while youth sports remain a growing segment of the sports tourism industry, Myrtle Beach welcomes adult events in the key off-season months. More recently high-profile events such as the Myrtle Beach Invitational and the new Myrtle Beach Bowl have provided our region with marquee ESPN events in the fall season. While attracting fans from across the

country to cheer on their favorite university, the events also provides live television exposure for the Myrtle Beach area as well. You cannot be a major player in the sports tourism industry if you do not have the venues to host these events and championships. The John T. Rhodes Myrtle Beach Sports Center, which celebrated their 5 year anniversary in 2020, features over 100,000 sq ft of space that can accommodate 8 basketball or 16 volleyball courts in a flexible indoor setting. The Grand Park Athletic Complex remains one of the most sought-after outdoor diamond complexes on the east coast. The 9 lighted turf fields and 2 natural grass fields remains booked throughout the year with baseball, softball and soccer tournaments. Doug Shaw Memorial Stadium underwent a major renovation and is opened for business. The stadium boasts a world-class outdoor track, a new Daktronics video board, field turf and press box. Adjacent to the stadium is the Ned Donkle complex offering additional baseball/softball fields and a turf field. North Myrtle Beach offers several sports tourism related complexes as well. The North Myrtle Beach Park and Sports Complex is home to 8 lighted natural grass multipurpose fields as well as 6 lighted baseball/softball fields.

Outside of these major sports venues, the Myrtle Beach Convention Center offers 100,000 sq ft of exhibit hall space and is home to cheer, dance, volleyball, e-sports and the annual Beach Ball Classic basketball event. Annually, Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach are home to several road races that take over our streets, providing another unofficial sports venue. And don’t forget about our 60 miles pristine beaches and our intercoastal waterway. It’s hard to bring up sports in without mentioning the first official game of the area - golf. With over 70 championship courses, groups and players at any level will find variation in style, location and difficulty. Course designers such as Palmer, Norman and Robert Trent Jones are just a few of the greats. It’s no wonder why so many call the Myrtle Beach region “Golftown USA!” Take a look at the following pages to learn more about great sports facilities in the area and an impressive list of some of the best golf courses in the nation.

TESTIMONIALS

What others are saying

Myrtle Beach has been a great home for our volleyball tournaments. With the addition of the Myrtle Beach Sports Center we have doubled the number of teams attending. The abundance of great hotels, restaurants, and activities make it easy to run a successful event.! ~ Alex Sing, Grand Strand Juniors Volleyball Club

Year after year, our coaches, players, & parents constantly tell us simply how much fun they are having in the area. With tons of attractions, shopping, entertainment, and miles of sandy white beaches there is always something for the entire family to enjoy. Along with the greatest facilities and amenities the city has to offer, it is truly a win-win for all involved. Our basketball tournaments have grown in size every year since coming to Myrtle Beach. NTBA is now hosting 800+ teams a year in the Myrtle Beach area and the MBACVB is a big reason why we have grown so much. Any event operator should highly consider bringing their event to the city.

~ John Whitley, National Travel Basketball Association

Myrtle Beach area communities have hosted for 14 consecutive years. The longevity of the event speaks for itself and is made possible by the Myrtle Beach staff and community, who collectively take pride in hosting our baseball and softball teams and deliver to them the best

experience possible.

Our essential field complex partners are continually being improved, from spectator shade structures at Grand Park to new batting cages at Ned Donkle Complex, to the creation of the North Myrtle Beach Sports Complex and the sustained excellence of regional high school fields. The Grand Strand is a dream destination for families with new attractions added yearly, an endless supply of golfing options and immaculate beaches.

~ Charles Lane, Triple Crown Sports

For the past three years Athletx's has hosted the Youth Baseball and Softball Nationals in Myrtle Beach. Myrtle Beach was the perfect choice to host our weeklong tournaments with so much to offer to our guests coming from all over the United States. Beautiful beaches, great food, many hotel choices and the athletic complexes second to none!

~ David Banner, Athletx

It is my pleasure to have the opportunity to host and manage events in Myrtle Beach. We have formulated a tremendous partnership between Coastal Carolina University, The City Of Myrtle Beach, Myrtle Beach Area Convention and Visitor Bureau, and Coach O Event Management. This partnership allows us the ability to leverage the knowledge, expertise and relationships of each entity to produce events at the highest levels of efficiency. ~ Charles Oliver, Coach O Event Management

THINGS To Do


MAKING GROUP TRAVEL

Fun in the Myrtle Beach Area Whether you are visiting for work, sports competitions or reconnecting with friends and family, The Beach provides a plethora of optional activities. When time allows, our beach is your playground. While a trip to Thebeach is an easy choice, the fun extends to our thousands of activities and attractions. Exploring the Myrtle Beach’s great outdoors and discovering the picturesque Carolina landscape is always a favorite activity for groups. Two state parks offer everything from hiking trails to picnic areas to fishing piers while one of the largest exotic reptile parks in the world can be found at Barefoot Landing. Brookgreen Gardens offers a more tranquil atmosphere where your group can explore the most significant American outdoor collection of figurative sculpture in the world. Miles of nature paths decorated with indigenous South Carolina flora and fauna provide a unique and scenic experience.

During the warmer months, take a break from the beach and experience the thrill of racing down a waterslide at one of the local waterparks, or visit one of the area’s many amusement parks for a thrilling roller coaster ride. To get the best view in town, a visit to the 200-foot Myrtle Beach SkyWheel is a must. And a little friendly competition is always fun at one of over 50 mini-golf courses. You can even form a mini-golf tournament for your group! If sports are more your speed, your group could head over to the TicketReturn.com field for baseball with the Myrtle Beach Pelicans or take a trip to the Broadway Grand Prix or The Track, where guests can experience driving small race cars. With so many options to choose from, it’s easy to make the most of downtime in Myrtle Beach.
