CHARLESTON IN THE NEWS

Charleston SC Tourism CharmCHARLESTON CONTINUES TO RANK HIGH AMONG TRAVELERS

Charleston's historic charm, hospitality, food and entertainment scene, and area beaches continue to attract visitors! Each year, Travel + Leisure magazine asks its readers to share their opinions on the top cities, islands, resorts, hotels and more in its World's Best Awards survey. In 2018, Charleston retained its #1 position among US cities for the 6th year in a row and was the only US city (ranked 10th) included among the World's Top 15 Cities. Conde Nast Traveler magazine also polls its readers for its Readers' Choice Awards and they rated Charleston as the best small US city this year for the 8th consecutive year. No wonder British Airways recently announced nonstop service between Charleston and London starting in 2019 and so many visitors decide to make Charleston home! Read more here and here.
