Myrtle Beach, S.C. — Locals and visitors can feel the buzz in the air this Memorial Day weekend as authorities predict a significant increase in tourists. The anticipated number of travelers is expected to exceed last year’s figures by over 10,000 at Myrtle Beach International (MYR) across the weekend according to insights shared by MYR Assistant Director, Ryan Betcher.
As the city gears up for the weekend celebrations, the airport expected an estimated 60,000 passengers entering and leaving the city from Friday through Monday. This estimate represents an impressive 23% rise in traffic compared to last Memorial Day weekend. As revealed by Ryan Betcher, Assistant Director at MYR, the weekend has kicked off with bustling activity at the airport.
Visitors arriving on Friday expressed diverse motivations for choosing Myrtle Beach as their holiday destination.
