What If There Were No Tourists?

Restaurants

The Grand Strand is home to more than 1,700 restaurants. In fact, the area boasts one of the highest restaurants-per-capita measurements in the nation. The Grand Strand measures at 5.1 restaurants per 1,000 residents, nearly twice the state and three times the national average. Better yet, the assortment of restaurants is diverse enough to please every palette and every budget.

If the Grand Strand were home to an average number of restaurants, that would mean 700-800 fewer restaurants. If there were no tourists, would your favorite eatery still be here?
