Charleston, SC (PRWEB) May 20, 2009

If you're like 67% of Americans, you're vacationing this summer in a state near your own. So why not make that South Carolina, where travel professionals are making the planning easy?

"SCore Your Best Summer Ever" is a new, online program (http://www.scatr.com/score.htm) loaded with insider tips on great summer destinations. From museums and art studios to state parks and outdoor recreation; golf courses to restaurants, this program will help travelers navigate the state this summer.

Start by downloading the "SCorecard" (http://www.scatr.com/docs/SCORECARD.pdf) that details select destinations in each of the state's 11 tourism regions. It contains hyperlinks and can be printed out to guide vacationers' road trips.

The program is designed around six categories, including: golf, restaurants (there's a special emphasis on those serving local ingredients), multi-generational favorites, kids, outdoor recreation, festivals/events and history. Each tourism district in South Carolina has showcased new or lesser-known attractions, destinations and events.

More than 25 free activities throughout South Carolina are highlighted in the SCorecard.

Everyone is invited to join the growing Facebook community, "SCore Your Best Summer Ever in SC," for videos, photos and news updates throughout the summer.

This program is sponsored by the South Carolina Association of Tourism Regions (SCATR), which is an association representing each of the 11 tourism regions of South Carolina. SCATR's primary mission is to promote tourism throughout the entire state. Each organization within the association is well versed in the tourism attractions, accommodations, dining options and events within its region. They are accustomed to working with the press to meet deadlines, and are a great resource for on-the-ground information about all the great things to do and see in South Carolina.
