Charleston, SC, September 28, 2026 —

Charleston, SC – The City of Charleston has announced an initiative to gather community feedback as it undertakes the process of updating its tourism management plan. This effort aims to incorporate diverse perspectives into the future direction of tourism within the city.

Details regarding the specific methods for community input, such as public hearings, online surveys, or workshops, were not provided in the initial announcement. The timeline for the collection of this feedback and the subsequent stages of the plan’s development also remain unspecified.
