Myrtle Beach is Ready for Us!
February 24-27
In less than two weeks we will see you on The Grand Strand! A full slate of activities, networking, innovative dishes and FAMs await.
Take the time to download or print the TSUSA Domestic Showcase schedule to familiarize yourself with all the opportunities to expose your destination and services.
Suppliers, friendly reminder - Travel South USA is a "brochures only" Showcase. We strictly enforce no banners, backdrops, pop-ups, exhibits, posters, electrical, audio visuals or similar decorations from being permitted in the booth. No table-top displays or custom draperies (including table) may be used and will be cited for removal if in violation. You may bring a laptop computer or tablet. (Please note that electricity is not provided in the Supplier booths. In most cases, laptops and tablets can be adequately charged during breaks and between Marketplace sessions so electricity is not essential in the booth.)

International Visitation to South Increases
YOY Growth
There is much talk about international visitation to the U.S. and its fluctuating numbers. While the U.S. overall has seen some uneven numbers, the Travel South USA region witnessed reassuring news in 2018.
International visits to the Travel South region are growing faster than most top markets with 4.3% growth last year, outpacing California, New York, Florida and the overall national average of 3.9%. See the comparison.
The South, in a preliminary view, saw 7.3 visits to our states with approximately $10 billion in spending.
Concerning international outreach, participation in TSUSA's Global Partner Program has increased; nations which GPP targets include Brazil, U.K., Australia, Brazil, China, France, Italy, Benelux and the Nordic countries.
Our complete GPP program of work for 2019/2020 will be available come May.
