There is significant potential to grow this niche with the high interest from travelers of all races outside of the state wanting to explore our African-American cultural experiences.
Just a 5% increase in visitation from African-Americans will result in an economic impact of $118.6 million in annual output, and an additional 1,315 jobs and $39.5 million in labor income for South Carolinians. But awareness is still low, with 55% of African-American visitors not familiar with African-American cultural attractions.
Similarly, the low interest in the Gullah culture and Gullah Geechee Corridor is probably due to a lack of awareness – those outside of South Carolina are just not familiar with the rich culture that the state has to offer.
