New Developments Planned in 2015 and Beyond in the Myrtle Beach Area Myrtle Beach, South Carolina continues to rank as one of the fastest-growing family and vacation destinations in the nation attracting more than 17.2 million visitors annually. Last year, the destination welcomed new non-stop air service and additional attractions for visitors. Given the accessibility and multitude of attractions for families, the Myrtle Beach area received several new accolades including being recognized as the most popular travel destination of 2014 by TripAdvisor, one of the top 10 best beaches for families by Family Vacation Critic and the best golf destination by USA Today. A wave of growth continues in 2015 with the long-awaited opening of a large indoor sports center adjacent to the Myrtle Beach Convention Center, new kid-friendly attractions and multiple new hotel developments for the first time in more than five years. The following is the latest compilation of new tourism developments and happenings in the region. Airline, Airport and Technology Myrtle Beach International Airport Improvements With the completion of the new $300 million passenger terminal in early 2013, the Myrtle Beach International Airport continues to make improvements and renovations to the facility costing an additional $20 million. The former airport terminal concourse has started to undergo a renovation that will service as a fully functional airline and passenger handling area opening up two additional gates in late 2015. The renovation will be complete with amenities, circulation space and improving the outside façade to blend-in with the look of the new terminal.

    SC EV Market Study 1 South Carolina Electric Vehicle Market Study Introduction 4 Current Assessment 5 Trends and Future Outlook 12 Implementation 17 Infrastructure Development 17 Educational Campaign: Plug in SC 22 1 Background Palmetto Clean Fuels (PCF) is an initiative of the South Carolina Office of Regulatory Staff - Energy Office (Energy Office). PCF is one of more than 100 U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Clean Cities designees and represents the entire state of South Carolina. Clean Cities is a locally based, voluntary public/private partnership created to promote energy use in the transportation sector that is clean, safe, sustainable, and less dependent upon foreign energy sources. Clean Cities builds on local initiatives and partnerships as well as nationwide networks to achieve its goals. By combining local decision- making with voluntary action by partners, this grassroots community action group seeks to create effective programs that support a sustainable nationwide alternative fuels market. PCF works to increase the use of alternative fuels and advanced vehicle technologies and strives to help public and private entities— as well as individuals— lower fuel costs, improve air quality, and reduce petroleum consumption. PCF also promotes idle reduction, fuel economy measures, vehicle miles traveled reductions, and bicycle and pedestrian efforts. 1 2 Introduction This study focuses on one aspect of PCF work—electric vehicles (EV). It builds on several regional studies as well as the past efforts of the organization, Plug-In Carolina. Plug-In Carolina, a registered non-profit, was selected to manage a program to install Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) funded with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) through the Energy Office.

  • New Airport Hotel Opens at Coastal Grand Mall
    New airport hotel opens at Coastal Grand Mall Visiting the ceremonial opening reception at the new Hilton Garden Inn in Myrtle Beach were from left, Michael Gibson, founder and CEO of M. Gibson Hotels, the owner of the hotel; Candace Parkerson, vice president for sales and marketing at the Gibson company; and the hotel general manager, Michael Petrosino. By Steve Porter The Herald “We felt like Myrtle Beach did not have a designated upscale product at the airport and we felt we would be the only designated airport hotel in the marketplace. The Hilton Garden Inn is structured to have a corporate customer base,” said Michael Gibson, founder and chief executive officer of M. Gibson Hotels, the developer and operator of the new Hilton Garden Inn located just off Harrelson Boulevard about a mile from the Myrtle Beach International Airport terminal. The hotel has an informal aura, but provides top notch services and is meant to attract the business traveler who wants to be able to check in and out, enjoy meals and perhaps partake of some recreation in the simplest and most efficient manner possible. A reception on Monday night marking a ceremonial opening of the hotel brought to town not only Gibson, whose company headquarters is in Knoxville, Tennessee, but also his vice president for sales and marketing and other company officials. Perhaps the most noticeable difference between the Garden Inn concept and most other hotels is at the very entrance. An atrium lobby literally blends into a gathering area where guests can enjoy breakfasts and dinners, as well as a full service bar located in the same area.
