At a Travel South USA reception, held last week in Toronto and sponsored by South Carolina, CTHotNews interviewed Elaine Michaud, International/Travel Agent Sales Manager and Chad Prosser, Director, South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism, both of whom underlined the new emphasis. Michaud was particularly enthusiastic about the launch of the www.MyrtleBeachLovesCanada.com website.

As well The Myrtle Beach Area Vacation Guide lists more than 220 hotel/motel and condo/cottages that pay travel agent commissions.
