ExploreCharleston.com unveils new look


Charleston, S.C. – The Charleston Area Convention and Visitors Bureau welcomed roughly 1.5 million travel savvy web browsers to their site last year. That’s a 19% increase over 2008’s web traffic results.

Recent renovations have made ExploreCharleston even more user-friendly and will allow visitors to imagine themselves in the Holy City. Enhancement of interactive features, breathtaking video compilations and pictures that accurately capture the authentic charm of Charleston will make planning the trip a fun precursor to the trip itself. The site hosts plenty of practical information, such as event listings, dining recommendations and value-added packages. Navigating these many options is now a sleeker, more streamlined process.

“This is an impressive tool for planning a trip, and a fun tool for envisioning yourself in Charleston. Visitors to this site are instantly transported to the area’s salt marshes, are dining at acclaimed restaurants and bumping along the cobblestones in a horse-drawn carriage,” says Frank Fredericks, Managing Director for Wild Dunes Resort.
