MBACC Launches Accelerate Myrtle Beach Recovery Task Force

The Accelerate Myrtle Beach Recovery Task Force is an industry-led initiative to develop a playbook for economic recovery in the wake of COVID-19. The task force was created by the chamber in collaboration with the Myrtle Beach Area Hospitality Association. It includes leaders from the main sectors of business in our community: lodging, restaurants, retail, golf, attractions, and non-tourism related businesses as well as the Myrtle Beach Police Department.

The task force has five major objectives:

• To define, communicate and encourage health and safety best-practices based on national and state recommendations.
• To encourage alignment and consistency of recovery policies and messaging between the chamber, local and state governments, the Hospitality Association, and local businesses.
• To make recommendations to the local and state government regarding economic recovery.
• To accelerate recovery by understanding and addressing the concerns of local residents and visitors regarding travel and safety.
• To create marketing messaging and communication best-practice guidelines for businesses.
