Myrtle Beach welcomes Canadian tourists during trade tensions

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, is actively welcoming Canadian tourists during its 64th annual Can-Am Days, despite ongoing trade tensions between the U.S. and Canada. The local Chamber of Commerce is promoting Canadian-themed events and accepting the Canadian dollar at parity. The community is making efforts to ensure Canadians feel appreciated, as they contribute significantly to the local economy, especially during off-peak seasons. The chamber's president emphasized the importance of Canadian visitors for year-round business. However, some Canadians, like Brian Baker, are choosing to avoid the U.S. due to the current political climate. Despite this, the Myrtle Beach area is still expecting some Canadian visitors, with charter buses scheduled to arrive this week.
