Myrtle Beach Christina Rabb January 28, 2012 Professor Overall reasons on why people travel to Myrtle Beach, as the beach can be a very pleasant place to visit.
There you can enjoy walking on the beach, swimming, looking for seashells, fishing off the pier, and more. There are also places to visit and see while in the area that is family friendly. Being able to walk along the main junction, visit shops together and having family fun. The main reason is the enjoyment of being outdoors enjoying the sights, sounds and activities of the beach.
With the International Airport, major Highway, water park attraction, getaway packages, new ideas can make Myrtle Beach a tourist attraction of the future. Myrtle Beach has an international airport that is a gateway to the Grand Strand. The Grand Strand is the main road running through Myrtle Beach’s major hotel district. There is also a major U. S. Highway that supports hotel, shopping, and attractions that can bring in current and future tourist to the area.
Bike Week being held in the month of May (The Ronin Agency, LLC, 1998-2010) is one of the many attractions that happen during the spring vacation days. This is a time in which motorcycle riders gather, which has been a ritual for many years that started in efforts to support the town. In Myrtle Beach, there are a few things that may catch the eye of those who may want to visit during the summer months. The attractions that mainly draw families along with beach atmosphere are the Myrtle Waves Water Park.
This is a place that has different age group attractions. With the 20 acres and more than one million gallons of water (PARC Management, LLC, 2005-2011) there is plenty of things that can be done to last the whole day with the family. With getaway packages from hotels, to restaurants, shopping, golf, fishing, water sports, movies, beach games, and more. These getaway packages and attraction that can accommodate any family needs are just a highlight of what Myrtle Beach offers.From amusement parks, museums, arcades, shopping, water sports; there are many attractions to choose from.
For Myrtle Beach to add for their attractions for children would be to have a Marine land Park. Here they are able to not only swim with the dolphin, they also have the opportunity to learn about their species and have a better understanding of marine life (Marine land, 2009). This would be a great benefit for those that want to learn about the dolphin species, but have no other way of doing so other than going to a place that can provide that for them.This will allow children and adults the opportunity to be able to understand why there are so many dangers in coming in contact with the dolphins and how it can affect them in so many ways.
This also gives them the opportunity to be able to understand why littering in our waters can also be dangerous to these animals as this is their home. There could be a shopping attraction such as the “As Seen on TV” store. For as everyone watches television this would be a store that people would want to visit. As everyone loves to buy things on this particular sight, this gives you a way of looking at the product before you purchase it.I myself have been in a store such as this and have seen a large choice of merchandise that I would not have normally purchased. In seeing these products in the store, I have looked at the quality of the product and see that it is sturdier than I first thought when seeing it on the television.
Being able to have a store such as this has made a few of others also want to come to the area in the efforts to gain these “As Seen on TV” products without having to pay the shipping and handling costs that are associated to the television advertisement.In light of all the restaurants that are available to the beach tourist. I believe that a revolving restaurant would be beneficial to the local area. This restaurant would be located on the Grand Strand above the Broad Walk, giving you the ability to view; the Atlantic Ocean, and attractions on the Board Walk. This would give those the ability to look up to the North Beach and South Beach areas. As there would be a 360 view of the Myrtle Beach area, there is always the chance that they will catch an attraction that may suit their curiosity.
This would lead to more people being able to see the attractions that you would not normally be told about. As there are many reasons for those to want to visit Myrtle Beach, there are a few things that attract the tourist in the area. If it is the Bike Week that has been going on for many years, to the Water Park that many are attracted to as well as the beach, to the getaway packages that are offered to the tourist, there is always something that attract the tourist to the Myrtle Beach area.There are some things that could attract tourist in the area as well. From the Marine land attraction, the “As Seen on TV’ store, and the revolving restaurant, there are always improvement to be done get the future tourist to come the great Myrtle Beach.
The main attraction would be the beach, but to have other attractions in sight and the desire to have the ability to get them in one area would encourage Myrtle Beach and show that they are happy with the current attractions, but are always looking for new ideas to bring and gain new tourists every year.Reference Page The Ronin Agency, LLC.
