Columbia, S.C. – The South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism (SCPRT) is welcoming Visit Chester County, SC to Discover South Carolina’s Front Porch Program.
The Front Porch Program connects local visitor centers and destination marketing organizations in small towns and big cities all over the state with South Carolina’s bustling state-operated Welcome Centers and the powerful Discover South Carolina brand. The program was created to help local entities amplify their reach to attract more visitors.
“Being part of the Front Porch Program gives Chester County, SC a chance to spotlight the authentic experiences that make our communities unforgettable,” said Keianna Benson, Tourism Director, Visit Chester County, SC. “We’re eager to expand our reach, build meaningful regional connections, and invite even more visitors to unwind, explore, and truly feel at home here in Chester County.”
Certified Front Porch program participants share information, promote special events, and provide SCPRT with up-to-date information about their destinations. This allows SCPRT’s nine Welcome Centers to share the latest and greatest information available about our destinations with our millions of visitors, helping increase visitation to those areas and improving visitor experience upon arrival. Program members receive an official window cling and certificate to promote their participation in the program; bulk copies of state maps and the Discover South Carolina Vacation Guide; and access to special training and events hosted by SCPRT’s expert travel staff.
