Charleston invited residents to discuss tourism management at two Peninsula Plan Open Studio sessions in an announcement posted September 28. The sessions were scheduled for October 1 and October 8, from 3 to 6 p.m., at the Charleston Civic Design Center, 85 Calhoun Street.
The city said Livability and Tourism staff would share updates, answer questions and collect comments about The Charleston Standard, its revised Tourism Management Plan. Residents could drop in during either session without registering. October 8 was identified as the final tourism-focused session.
A community survey offered another way to participate. The city estimated it would take about 12 minutes and set October 8 as the closing date. The survey and studio participation dates have passed.
The tourism work was connected to the broader Charleston Peninsula Plan, covering growth from the Battery to the Neck. Weekly Open Studio sessions were scheduled through October 29. The announcement did not report adoption of a completed plan.
