ATTRACTIONS: (a few major)
As an aggressive and resilient player in both America's past and present, this somewhat small state is renown for its antebellum homes, historical sites and southern style, especially in the aesthetically pleasing harbor city of Charleston.
Add hundreds of coastal islands and beaches, over 300 golf courses, wilderness areas, watersports of all description, and some the country's most popular NASCAR events, and South Carolina is understandably a mecca for travelers throughout the year.

PASSPORTS - TRAVEL VISAS:
United States entry requirements are the same in all states, with most foreign travelers requiring a visa. There are exceptions as Canadian citizens only need proof of that citizenship. Travelers coming to the U.S. for tourism or business for 90 days or less from qualified countries may be eligible to visit the U.S. without a visa.
For the latest information, including required documentation, any interested party should apply at the American Embassy or Consulate with jurisdiction over their place of permanent residence. In addition, we strongly recommend visiting the U.S. Department of State's
