What is the Explore Eastern Shore Tourism Society? 

The Eastern Shore Chamber of Commerce is proud to introduce our new Explore Eastern Shore Tourism Society where you can learn all about local events, attractions & destinations. Our goal is to support tourism in our area while encouraging community involvement from locals. We hope that Tourism Society members will have a blast exploring the Eastern Shore and will share their experiences with tourists they encounter, friends and family. We will offer three sessions each year with three program days each that include speakers, a trade show, attraction tours & graduation. 

When are the Sessions? 

Spring Session: March 8, April 12 & May 24 
Summer Session: June 14, July 12 & August 9 
Fall Session: October 11, November 8 & December 13 

Who is an ideal participant? 

- Front-line hospitality employees who greet and refer visitors to local attractions, restaurants & activities. 
- Locals who are a constant cheerleader for the Eastern Shore and love sharing fun things to do.
- Those interested in volunteering at local tourism events. 

Can my attraction or tourism-related business get involved? 

Absolutely! We would love for any tourism-related business or attraction to join us for the trade shows. You’ll be able to set up a booth to tell participants all about what you offer. Chamber members are welcome to be part of the trade shows for free. We also have sponsorship opportunities available with additional exposure & recognition. Call (251) 928-6387 if you’d like to get your company’s name in front of this targeted group.
