Myrtle Beach

One of America's most popular tourist destinations

It may not have a high name recognition in Europe but for Americans it is the most popular vacation destination after Florida. Only a short hop from New York, the area attracts over 15 million tourists annually and is renowned for the 60 mile long 'Grand Strand' in addition to family theme parks, over 100 golf courses, outlet stores and its almost 2,000 restaurants.

Myrtle Beach exemplifies Southern hospitality and that distinctive American commitment to service.

Recently the Hard Rock Café Group have opened the 'Hard Rock Park' in Myrtle Beach, which has given the area a world class theme park on par with the very best that Orlando can offer.

Myrtle Beach and South Carolina have become one of the highest growth areas in the United States and have begun to attract significant investment in professional services, light industry and of course tourism.

"Even before the present currency shifts Money Magazine's September 2006 issue addressed the then current housing market. It found Myrtle Beach as being one of the most underpriced areas in the US for a vacation home. The growth prospects for a property investment in the long term are real. And due the dollar exchange rates and the economy more Americans are vacationing within the United States, benefiting resorts such as Myrtle Beach."

No one can foresee the future, however the predicted trend for sustained, long term growth in Myrtle Beach looks extremely promising. The local rental market is thriving, ensuring good yields and returns. And the area has become even easier to reach from Europe. Thanks to recent legislation, more carriers than ever are being allowed to operate between the UK, Europe and the US.
