COLUMBIA, SC--(Marketwire - February 6, 2009) - The S.C. Department of Parks, Recreation &
Tourism has launched a new Web site devoted specifically to the Palmetto
State's 200 miles of coastline.
Travel Information for Beach Destinations in South Carolina
The Web site at www.SCBeaches.travel provides up-to-date travel information
on three distinct areas -- the Lowcountry and Resort Islands, Historic
Charleston and Myrtle Beach & the Grand Strand -- along with interactive
games for kids, weather, maps and a photo album.
Additional Sites Provide Information on South Carolina Parks, Golf,
Cuisine, and Affordable Beach Trips
Using keyword research, SCPRT has organized the new site in a way to make
it more accessible to the widely used Internet search engines that millions
of consumers use when looking for unique, fun and affordable beach trips.
It also provides the state's tourism partners on the coast with a clear
portal for their consumer message.
SCBeaches.travel is the latest in a series of Web sites created and
maintained by SCPRT. The others include the state's official tourism site
at www.DiscoverSouthCarolina.com, the Web site of the S.C. State Park
Service at www.SouthCarolinaParks.com and specialized offerings such as
www.SouthCarolinaGolf.com, www.SavorSouthCarolina.com and
www.CarolinaGirls.travel.
The state tourism agency also maintains sites designed specifically for
cellphones and other handheld devices. They are
www.DiscoverSouthCarolina.mobi and www.SouthCarolinaParks.mobi. They
contain key information about South Carolina attractions, events, lodging,
shopping, dining, golf courses and state parks.
