CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — It was a solid summer for tourism in South Carolina, though industry leaders say it may still be some time before the $15 billion industry recovers to the levels seen before the Great Recession.

“We’re not at all back to where we were in 2006 and 2007,” said Frank Frederick, the managing director of the Wild Dunes resort on the Isle of Palms. “My feeling is it will still probably take a couple more years.”
