We greet those who visit the Charleston area with warmth and open arms. Our hospitality is legendary. It’s not something we teach. Friendliness and graciousness are in our roots. People you meet in Charleston look you in the eye and smile. Spend some time at any of our beautiful beaches, sprawling plantations, local boutiques or attractions and you’ll notice our residents make you feel right at home.

The history you see in the Charleston area is real and alive. Our well-preserved architecture is home to families and forward-thinking businesses. The landmarks and history you see are not replicas. They are as real as the massive oaks that dot this area. What you see and experience in Charleston is genuine. Just like our hospitality.

is warm.The weather is nice, too.

If These Walls Could Talk…

Welcome to The Cotton Dock at Boone Hall Plantation. We offer a variety of venues and services on the property that can be used for corporate or special events

of any kind, large or small. To review options, please visit the Event Hosting page on our website at: BooneHallPlantation.com, or call Natalie Knox at 843-884-4371 ext. 221.

Located on the grounds at Boone Hall Plantation is an iconic structure that has a history all of its own. A building which is nestled in a majestic setting on a tidal marsh amongst over three centuries of history, beauty, and grace.

A rustic building whose walls if they could talk would speak proudly of a guest list over the years which has included Presidents and prominent politicians, celebrities, businesses, families and friends old and new. This legendary structure sets the stage for celebrating some of life’s most special moments… and launching new beginnings of every kind.


TOURS WITH A TWISTAFRICAN-AMERICAN TOURSThe heritage of the Lowcountry’s sea island people is woven into every sweetgrass basket and baked into every benne seed wafer, two of many Gullah traditions that can be explored by groups interested in the area’s abundant African-American history and culture.

CULINARY TOURSNamed one of the world’s 10 Best Delicious Destinations for Foodies by Travelocity, Charleston is an epicurean’s dream. From sustainable seafood to community-supported agriculture, molecular gastronomy to barbecue, crafting a culinary-themed visit to Charleston is as easy as pie—Wadmalaw Island tomato pie!

STUDENT TOURSThanks to the College of Charleston, the state’s first chartered college, the area boasts an exceptional array of educational opportunities and extra-curricular activities geared toward student groups. From marine biology cruises to archeology digs, hands-on experiences abound.

MILITARY TOURSFrom the Continental army’s admirable efforts during the Revolutionary War to the first shot fired in the Civil War, the Charleston area has a legacy of military milestones, including the first successful naval submarine and the Citadel, the military college founded in 1843.

CHRISTMAS IN CHARLESTONStorefronts decked out in garlands, churches adorned with wreaths, spirituals concerts and candlelight tours make the holiday season a memorable time to enjoy the Lowcountry. An evening parade of boats and annual tree lighting ceremony are two of many eagerly anticipated annual events.

WOMEN’S INTERESTAntiquing is an artform in an area filled with treasures, but Charleston’s modern boutiques are beguiling in their own right. Whether shopping is your bag or beachside relaxation calls your name, the area offers plenty of planned and leisure activities for women of all ages and interests.

RELIGIOUS HERITAGEIt’s no surprise that steeples dominate the skyline in a city founded upon the idea of religious tolerance, and the piquant sound of bells can be heard at all hours of the day. Known as the Holy City, Charleston is filled with historic houses of worship.

ECO-TOURSThe vibrant local maritime ecosystem is only a kayak outing away during a visit to the area. The sounds of dolphins playing in a creek and hermit crabs scuttling across the bank are just part of the ecological symphony that underscores life in the Lowcountry.

130 | GROUPS & REUNIONS

Because of the unique and sensitive nature of Charleston’s Historic District, its numerous narrow streets and lived-in residential areas, the Charleston City Council has found it necessary to enact a comprehensive set of tourism ordinances to manage the day-to-day tourism operations of the city. The principal features of these ordinances, primarily as they affect tourism-related transportation, are summarized below.

Your understanding of the problems faced with modern transportation systems in a city laid out in colonial times, and your cooperation in complying with these regulations will be deeply appreciated. We are very proud of our city, and we want to show it to you in an efficient, sensitive manner. There are several general regulations of which group tour planners should be aware:

PERMITSPermits are required for all visiting tour buses, including vans if they are engaged in touring for hire. Permits are also required for transportation purposes (non-touring) and motorcoach parking within the Historic District. This is to assist drivers in reaching destinations such as hotels, restaurants and attractions by the best route possible. Permits must be picked up at the bus shed located directly behind the Charleston Visitor Center at 375 Meeting Street. Permits are not mailed; they must be picked up.

TOUR FEELast year the Charleston area welcomed approximately 4 million visitors. To provide for additional safety, increased beautification of the city and other tourism-related activities, a fifty-cent per person tour fee is required of individuals participating in tours conducted on the public streets and sidewalks of Charleston. Anyone under the age of 18 in an organized group, the bus driver and the escort(s) are excluded from the fee. Motorcoach tours should submit a check for the tour fee upon arrival at the Permit office, located on the Ann Street end of the VRTC Bus Shed, while picking up permits. Make checks payable to City of Charleston. Debit and credit cards are not accepted.

Questions regarding permits or the tour fee should be addressed to:

TOURISM MANAGEMENT OFFICE

32 Ann St.Charleston, SC 29403Phone 843.724.7395Fax 843.579.7673 or 843.720.3965

TOUR GUIDESIf your group is not utilizing the services of a local tour bus operator, sightseeing vehicles (touring for hire) must employ the services of a registered city tour guide. Many of these guides are listed in the Tour Services section of this publication.

TRAFFIC FLOWVehicles actually engaged in touring may not stop or stand for description of points of interest, but must remain part of the normal traffic flow. However, slow-moving vehicles may safely pull to the side to allow faster vehicles to pass.

HOURS OF TOURINGTouring by motorized vehicle is prohibited in residential areas during the following times: Eastern Standard Time – 5pm-9am and Daylight Savings Time – 6pm-9am.

ENGINE OPERATING WHILE STOPPEDMotorcoach operators may not park with engines operating for more than five minutes.

PERIMETER ROUTEAll out-of-town (not locally certified) motorcoaches carrying passengers for hire are to use the perimeter route. Registered tour guides are familiar with this route, as well as with the authorized passenger pickup and discharge points and parking areas.

FOR A CLOSER LOOKVisiting groups are encouraged to get a more detailed look at historic Charleston. Locally licensed small charter buses and carriages may be used. Walking tours are also recommended as a pleasant way to experience the city.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR OBTAINING PERMITSThe City of Charleston and the Charleston Area Convention & Visitors Bureau have provided a blank application form for obtaining the permits required for touring the Historic District. Most of the information on this form is self-explanatory, but please keep the following points in mind when completing the application.

• Size and number of vehicles

• Specific date and hours of tour and the Charleston guide or service handling the tour

• Type of permit(s) requested while in Charleston (such as motorcoach transportation to a hotel, restaurant, the Market, etc.) - be sure to provide approximate times for permits

• Name and location of your hotel/motel

Please make checks payable to the City of Charleston and mail to:

TOURISM MANAGEMENT OFFICE

32 Ann St.Charleston, SC 29403

Should you need assistance in completing the application, please contact the City of Charleston’s Office of Tourism Management at 843.724.7395.

OUR MISSIONThe mission of the Charleston Area Sports Commission (CASC) is to market the Charleston region as a premier destination for participant and spectator sports events that will generate overnight visitation to the Charleston region. The organization is an auxiliary organization of the Charleston Area Convention & Visitors Bureau (CACVB).

The Sports Commission continues to build great momentum as the region’s central sports agency, providing assistance and support services to event organizers and their visiting attendees.

The leaders and staff have built an impressive portfolio over the last decade and are well-positioned to provide a number of services, within each phase of staging a sports event. As a one-stop, “referral” shop, they work with all sports events, whether it is a first time, homegrown competition or a world-class, highly competitive-bid event.

The ultimate goal is to ensure each event is a financial success for its beneficiaries and an economic success for the Charleston community.

CHARLESTON'S FIRSTS AND OLDESTSCharleston built America's first golf course, Harleston Green, and organized the first club, the South Carolina Golf Club, in 1786. Today, the Charleston area has a number of first class golf courses along with Kiawah Island's famed Ocean Course, which played host to the 2012 PGA Championship.

America's first recognized woman artist, Charleston's own Henrietta Johnson, began painting portraits in 1707. Be sure to include one of the French Quarter Art Galleries on your next visit.

Organized in 1773, the Charleston Museum Society was the first in America. Visit The Charleston Museum, along with a host of others at museummile.org.

She-crab soup originated in Charleston and was created by William Deas, butler of the former mayor Goodwyn Rhett. Mayor Rhett entertained President William Taft, who helped make the soup famous.
