Myrtle Beach goes dollar for dollar

In light of the weakening Canadian dollar, the Myrtle Beach Area CVB is offering up to 30 per cent discounts – and in some cases up to 65 per cent discounts – at select hotels, live entertainment, attractions, golf, and restaurants from January through April 2016.

Travellers with a valid Canadian passport can take advantage of discounts that at least cover the difference of the 70-cent-on-the-dollar conversion of Canadian to U.S. dollars, making the two equal. At some hotels, accommodations will be offered at as much as a 65 per cent discount off regular season rates for Canadians. 

In addition to Canadian discounts from January through April, the 55th annual Canadian-American Days Festival will also take place during this discount window, from March 12-20, 2016. In commemoration of this milestone anniversary, a number of special activities and events are planned to showcase the Myrtle Beach area’s Southern hospitality. Details will be available as the event approaches at www.visitmyrtlebeach.com/things-to-do/events/can-am-days/.
