"More and more people are going to Charleston," Conde Nast deputy digital editor Laura Redman tells cnn. "Europeans are heading to Charleston because they've heard about the food and the architecture. It's getting great press, and it's having a moment."

该杂志副主编劳拉·里德曼在接受cnn采访时表示：“越来越多的人去查尔斯顿度假。欧洲人蜂拥而至，因为他们听闻了那里的美食和建筑。这个城市的压力与日俱增，总有一天会受不了的。”

To arriving travelers, a city can get a reputation for friendliness¹ through its locals and its appearance.
