Myrtle Beach Hotel Rates

by Chris Linch

Myrtle Beach is one of the fastest growing tourist spots in the US. Grand Strand. Its hub, Myrtle Beach, is clustered with a number of quiet towns and islands. Many of these places are still privately owned. Obsolete buildings and low interest rates have risen to high-rise hotels, oceanfront hotels and preconstruction condos.

Myrtle Beach has every sort of hotel accommodation to offer tourists. A tourist can choose a place near the sea, entertainment plaza, shopping malls and restaurants. Alternately, a visitor can choose to stay in resorts in the nearby areas. For instance, the island of Hilton Head offers the richest accommodations in the county. Many of the hotels offer facilities such as golf courses, lazy rivers and swimming pools. Some hotels offer cruises and arranged tours.

To best understand how and why this might occur, you might have to shift your thinking about hotel rooms. They are a commodity, just like fruit for instance. I have noticed over the years that late in every Spring, Bing cherries will sell for almost $5/lb. By midsummer, they are usually down to 1/3rd that price. Why? It isn’t costing the growers any more to harvest them in May than it does in July and usually doesn’t cost more to transport them either. The answer is supply and demand – when cherries haven’t been available for 9 months and they are suddenly on the market, growers get a higher price. As more suppliers bring cherries to market and they are no longer a ‘novelty’, the demand usually has shrunk as well and hence the price follows demand as much as supply. But cherries are a perishable commodity and if they aren’t priced right, they won’t sell and will then be tossed out. Growers know that after 9 months of no cherries, cherry enthusiasts will happily pay the $5/lb.
