MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — The Grand Strand, an area along the South Carolina coast that includes Myrtle Beach, is a popular destination for beach lovers of all ages, welcoming more than 19 million visitors every year, according to the Myrtle Beach Area Convention and Visitors Bureau.
It’s also the “birthplace of the autism friendly travel initiative.”
“Champion Autism Network and Autism Travel Club, we serve the family by creating traditional family experiences, but modified for the person with autism so that everybody can come out and enjoy a supportive experience,” said Becky Large, CEO of Autism Travel Club (ATC) and executive director of Champion Autism Network (CAN).
