TESTIMONIALS

There are so many reasons a trip to The Beach is a great choice for your next event. But don’t take it from us ... check out why other planners say Myrtle Beach, South Carolina was a great experience for them:

“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 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

“For the last 10 years I have been sending groups to Myrtle Beach. There is not another destination I work with than 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

“All reunion and event planners are faced with a myriad of issues when trying to schedule and then execute an event such as dining venues, transportation services, cultural and non-cultural events. In many locales the planner has to do all of the legwork with little or no support from the local CVB. That is not the case in Myrtle Beach. The cooperation between the CVB and the vendors was that of a well-oiled machine.”

Harold V. Kane President and reunion planner – USS Manley (DD940) Association

“Our Triple Crown staff gets fired up every year for the East Coast Summer Nationals in Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach. We’ve been lucky for 25 years to get our customers on the best complexes and fields along the East Coast. Families also get to spend time on those beautiful beaches and dive into the fun diversions of the area. The team at Visit Myrtle Beach are engaged and valued partners, always going out of their way to provide the knowledge and support that creates good business and great competition.”
