Much has changed since 1938, when the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce opened for business. What has remained constant though is the commitment of the local business community to pull together for the economic good of all. It is this unity that is the very essence of the community and the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce.
The purpose of the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce is to promote, protect and improve businesses along the Grand Strand from Little River south through Pawleys Island. Our membership consists of close to 2,400 businesses and nonprofit organizations. Our primary objective is to help businesses grow and add to the area's economic success and quality of life.
Some of our 2009-2010 accomplishments include:
- Increased exposure for Myrtle Beach in the sports market by hosting USA Judo and USA Team Handball. Also secured bookings for two high profile USA Track and Field Events to be held in 2011.
- In an effort to rebuild the spring economy, the chamber kicked off MayFest 2010 with an Arts & Film Celebration, Beach Music Festival, Beach Blast! Christian Music Festival, and Memorial Day Weekend festivities, including an oceanfront parade televised locally and out-of-market. The fun, family-friendly events attracted thousands of visitors and featured celebrity meet-and-greets, performances by headline musicians, arts, crafts and food vendors, and fireworks.
- The Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce joined our Hospitality Partnership member, Myrtle Beach Area Hospitality Association, to celebrate the hard work of frontline employees with the first-ever Frontline Employee Appreciation Week.
