MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. – Visit Myrtle Beach announces its groundbreaking new series, “Traveling the Spectrum,” will make its nationwide debut on Dec. 12, 2024, premiering on the Peacock streaming network.

Visit Myrtle Beach selected Peacock and its worldwide audience of 33 million subscribers as a way to showcase how the Myrtle Beach area’s sensory-friendly accommodations and welcoming spirit are creating unforgettable experiences for families.
“Traveling the Spectrum has the potential to change the world by helping families on the autism spectrum feel more comfortable exploring new destinations,” said Stuart Butler, Chief Marketing Officer, Visit Myrtle Beach. “By following along on their vacations and hearing their personal stories, we see the unique challenges each family faces and how our community steps up to provide a welcoming, inclusive experience.”
