SC Lowcountry & Resort Islands Tourism Commission is a nonprofit established in 1991 to promote economic development in South Carolina's southern region through a formal tourism marketing program. Operating within the hospitality sector, it functions as a regional tourism marketing body for the Lowcountry, encompassing Beaufort, Colleton, Hampton and Jasper Counties along with a range of coastal towns and rural communities. Based in Yemassee, South Carolina, the organization maintains a small staff. A key asset is the Frampton Plantation House, built in 1868 by John Edward Frampton and donated in 1993, which now serves as the Lowcountry Visitors Center and Plantation Gift Shop, providing information on local accommodations and attractions and hosting museum displays. Its activities focus on highlighting the region's coastal scenery, historic sites, outdoor recreation, and cultural offerings to visitors, supporting the local economy through tourism.
