Spartanburg, SC— The Spartanburg Convention and Visitors Bureau (SCVB) welcomes the Motorcoach Association of South Carolina to Spartanburg.  Almost 200 members of the Association have gathered in Spartanburg this week for their Annual Meeting and Market Place.

This group is comprised of tour operators, tour receptives, as well as associates such as attractions, hotels, restaurants and tourism agencies. During their Market Place meetings, the associates are able to meet one on one with the tour operators and try to sale their destination or attraction to the tour operator.

The Marriott at Renaissance Park is the host property for the group’s meeting, as well as the host hotel.

The SCVB has organized the groups’ outings for the week which have included a Culinary Tour of Spartanburg, History Tour of Spartanburg, a BMW Ultimate Driving Experience, a dinner on the farm at Live Oak Farms, a round of shooting at Riverbend Sportsman’s Resort, and a dinner at the Chapman Cultural Center featuring some of Spartanburg’s famous restaurants along with entertainment by local musicians.

“This is a great opportunity for Spartanburg,” says Chris Jennings, Director of the Spartanburg Convention and Visitors Bureau. “These tour operators are able to experience firsthand the packages we can offer them when they bring tour groups to our area. We hope the get a taste of what Spartanburg can offer them and return with more groups.”
