According to the most recent reports, the hospitality industry has a more than $29 billion impact in South Carolina. The South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism (SCPRT) says one in ten people here works in hospitality, supporting more than 200,000 jobs.
While great news for the economy, unfortunately, popular tourist destinations like ours often experience more personal injuries due to the large influx of visitors, unfamiliarity with the area, and the heightened activity levels associated with tourism.
Tourists may be more likely to engage in activities like sightseeing, outdoor adventures, or amusement park rides, which can increase the risk of accidents. Crowded areas, such as beaches, attractions, and public spaces, also increase the likelihood of slip-and-fall accidents, vehicle collisions, or other injuries. Additionally, tourists are often less aware of local hazards or safety regulations, leading to mishaps that locals might more easily avoid.
