Charleston-area tourism: What's next?

The future of hospitality and tourism in the Lowcountry is the focus of a presentation by the Coastal Young Leaders Group on Wednesday evening at the Best Western Hotel in downtown Charleston.

Stephen Litvin, chair of the College of Charleston's hospitality and tourism management department, will talk about what's on the horizon for hospitality in the Charleston region, how growth in the region is being regulated and directed, the upside of regulation for industry and lessons learned.

The event is from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the hotel at 250 Spring St. Both members and nonmembers may attend; for information, call 800-321-5011 or 843- 513-9331. Registration is accepted at the door.

A tour of the hotel will be offered after the presentation.
