Alright, we just might be onto something here. I met last week with Kara-Anne Serradimigni who is producing the Taste Gourmet Expo May 21-23, 2010 at the Myrtle beach Convention Center. We think that there is room to expand on the weekend, make it a destination for culinary tourists. Here are some ideas that I had
Events outside of the Taste show (to not compete but to take place before, after, or on evenings during Taste show)
I am thinking from the perspective of a tourist, what will engage them for a long weekend or week. What will they want to do in Myrtle Beach in addition to the Taste show?
restaurant promotions
winemaker dinners
progressive dinners
nightly after party at different bars
concert at Broadway, market commons, or myrtle square mall
"happy hour" wine tastings in select hotels
beach party
culinary tours to oyster beds, clam beds, farms, shrimp docks, etc.
complimentary food and wine at select golf courses
I am also meeting with James Clark and a few others later this week to discuss. I’ll keep you informed!
