The Myrtle Beach Black Chamber of Commerce desires to promote the brand as an “Official Myrtle Beach Tourism Website.” The group said it will meet with city leaders to ensure that no conflicts exist in promoting MBBC’s tourism site this way.
The Myrtle Beach Black Chamber will hold its grand opening this May 5, 2015. The organization now has an office open. The purpose of MBBC is to grow and build upon the base of black tourists who visit the Myrtle Beach area. Currently over 5 million black tourists visit annually contributing $5 Billion to the local economy.
The Myrtle Beach Black Chamber was given some financial assistance from anonymous members of the Republicans for Black Empowerment this past February. The Myrtle Beach Black Chamber also received some funding from more left leaning individuals who made this launch and acquisition possible. The Myrtle Beach Black Chamber has also applied for marketing funds from the City of Myrtle Beach’s 1% ad tax funding. A membership drive is now ongoing city wide.
