CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - The Charleston Area Convention and Visitors Bureau says they’ve seen noticeable increases in visitation and hotel occupancy over the last month.
Communications Director Chris Campbell says they’ve seen increases in tourism specifically over the last few weekends, getting closer to pre-pandemic numbers.
Monday through Thursday Campbell says hotel bookings are about 12.5% lower than this time in 2019. However, for weekends, he says those booking numbers are only down 3% from around this time of year in 2019.
On Wednesday, the South Carolina Department of Employment and Workforce is hosting a virtual job fair for Charleston and North Charleston Marriott hotels and the Belmond Charleston Place Hotel.
CHARLESTON The West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals affirmed that a lower court did not have jurisdiction in a lawsuit involving Xenia Hotels & Resorts 2019 tax assessment.
Xenia owns the Charleston Marriott property in Charleston and filed a notice of intent to file a protest in February 2019 before the Kanawha County Board of Commissioners, which was sitting as the Board of Assessment Appeals, according to the March 23 memorandum decision.
Xenia was challenging the valuation of the property from the 2019 assessment and submitted that the appraised value was in excess of the market value.
However, the Kanawha County Assessor denied the petitioner’s request for review of the property appraisal because the petitioner’s challenge was untimely. The parties were scheduled to go before the commission on Oct. 10, 2019, but Xenia did not show up to the hearing and the appeal was marked as withdrawn. However, Xenia then filed an appeal with Kanawha Circuit Court on Nov. 12, 2019.
