Restaurant and Lodging Partnership

The Lowcountry Hospitality Association and South Carolina Restaurant and Lodging Association have created a unique partnership to promote, protect and improve businesses in the tri-county area.

Through this joining of forces, members of the Explore Charletson Travel Council includes membership into the Lowcountry Hospitality Association and the South Carolina Restaurant and Lodging Association. And for restaurants the National Restaurant Association is also included. Membership to these organizations will deliver added value to your business and increase our local hospitality industry’s lobbying power at the local, state and national levels.

 

We invite you to join this year to participate in the many programs provided by our Associations.
