SUMMARY: After Hurricane Helene triggered a devastating mudslide, an 11-year-old boy, Jamie Parker, was trapped under rubble for three hours. The mudslide destroyed his family‘s home, leaving them with nothing as they recovered from the traumatic event. Jamie’s sister Gemma and their grandfather managed to escape and seek help. The family now lives in a rental as homeowner’s insurance denied their claim due to the nature of the disaster. With their home completely mangled, they continue to grapple with the loss while relying on the recently approved $273 million in relief money to aid recovery efforts.

SUMMARY: Anuka, thank you! I’m excited to vote for her too. It’s inspiring to see the Blue Devils so engaged and ready to win. Being here is a privilege, especially knowing that billions globally would dream of having the freedom to shape their future. We have the opportunity to decide our government and society together. On behalf of the Vice President and all Americans, I believe we can achieve victory. Let’s harness this energy, especially as we approach the upcoming door-knocking event. Duke University is the place to make this happen—let’s go!

SUMMARY: Tourism is crucial for the Grand Strand’s economy, but this summer’s season was slower than usual. Hotel occupancy rates increased by 2% from last year, while short-term rentals dropped by 7%. Concerns arise from national trends, including decreased restaurant spending and increased grocery purchases, prompting the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce to revise marketing strategies. High and mid-scale hotels performed better than economy hotels. With many budget travelers planning trips in the coming months, there are hopes for an active fall season. The chamber aims to make Myrtle Beach a year-round destination, supported by a growing accommodation tax.

Tourism is a vital part of the economy along the Grand Strand.

Some businesses have been telling ABC15 that all summer the season was slower than normal.

ABC15 sat down with the CEO and Chief Marketing Officer for the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce to talk about tourism numbers and the trends they are seeing.
