Canadian-American Days Are Back


Myrtle Beach, South Carolina is gearing up to celebrate its Canadian visitors for the 58th year in a row as part of the Annual Canadian-American Days, which feature some hefty discounts to help offset the difference in Canadian exchange rate.

And while the 58th annual Canadian-American Days lasts only one week – March 9 – 17, 2019, select Myrtle Beach area hotels, merchants and attractions are offering discounts from January through April 2019 for travellers with a valid Canadian passport.

Ranging from 25% to as much as 55%, the discounts are designed to help Canadians “make up” the difference in the Canadian exchange rate.

Karen Riordan, president and CEO of the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce, noted that: “We have been a favorite destination for Canadian visitors for decades, and we want them to know that we appreciate them and welcome them to the Grand Strand.”

Riordan continued: “The late winter and early spring seasons offer mild weather, more affordable accommodations and more elbow room at area attractions. The special promotions for our Canadian neighbors provide even more incentive by bridging the gap in the exchange rate.”

During Canadian-American Days, Canadians can enjoy complimentary coffee and donuts at the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce at 1200 North Oak Street while they gather information on the region’s vast-array of attractions.

Canadians can also enjoy special tours in Conway, SC. March 12-15, the city of Conway, just a short drive from Myrtle Beach, is offering tours of the Bryan House, Waccamaw River Tours, an historic walking tour, and Horry County Museum tours.
