Visit Anderson is honored to host the annual Southeastern Travel Counselors Alliance (STCA) Conference April 17 through April 19. STCA is a regional organization for Welcome Center professionals from 13 southeastern states and Maine.
The main goals of STCA’s annual meetings are to make connections and share information and best practices. This year’s agenda includes topics like marketing, security, staff morale, and budgeting. More than 50 Welcome Center directors, managers, and travel counselors from nine states – Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Maryland, Arkansas, and Maine – are attending this year.
While their home base will be the Home 2 Suites by Hilton in downtown Anderson, conference attendees will also get the chance to explore and enjoy all that Anderson has to offer, starting with a welcome dinner and reception at Iron Oak Barn. This year’s theme, “Discovering the Undiscovered,” highlights unique South Carolina tastes and experiences and showcases numerous local vendors. Conference organizers from Discover South Carolina also partnered with Visit Anderson to offer two distinct tours for guests to enjoy, which include stops at Green Pond Landing, Woodburn Historic House, Downtown Pendleton, Garrison Arena, Anderson County Museum, Palmetto Distillery, and Split Creek Goat Farm.
“Visit Anderson is always wonderful to work with on any event we bring in,” said Heather Harley, South Carolina Welcome Center Operations Manager. “Their team is with you every step of the way to make sure the event goes off without a hitch. Anderson is an ideal destination for showcasing South Carolina hospitality to our Welcome Center partners, and we’re thrilled to help our STCA attendees discover everything this area has to offer.”
