Myrtle Beach Helps Canadians Fight Declining Loonie

In light of the weakening Canadian dollar, the Myrtle Beach area is helping Canadians “make up” the difference with offers of up to 30% discounts – and in some cases up to 65% – at select hotels, live entertainment, attractions, golf and restaurants through April.

“We have been welcoming Canadians to the Myrtle Beach area for decades and hope this promotional solution will help overcome any financial hurdles caused by the exchange rate,” said Susan Phillips, director of marketing for the Myrtle Beach Area CVB. “This special Canadian discount is just one more reason to visit in the lovely late winter and early spring seasons, which have typically mild weather, even more affordable accommodations and more elbow room at area attractions.”

In addition, the 55th annual Canadian-American Days Festival will also take place during this discount window, from March 12-20. In commemoration of this milestone anniversary, a number of special activities and events are planned to showcase the Myrtle Beach area’s southern hospitality.
