Chincoteague Chamber of Commerce

Your involvement in our Chamber is not only beneficial to your business, but to our county and state as well. Did you know that the county of Accomack receives approximately 24% of their operating revenue through local taxes from the tiny island of Chincoteague?

One of our Chamber's basic functions is to create an awareness of the bountiful resources that are protected here on the islands of Chincoteague and Assateague, and to entice people to come and experience them. Our success (or failure) both directly and indirectly affect the quality of life for the residents of the Eastern Shore to some degree.

Other benefits that you obtain from your membership are:

Year-round distribution of our Visitor Guide (110,000 + per year) at all Virginia Welcome Centers, AAA Travel Clubs, military facilities, distribution services, and at travel shows attended by the Chincoteague Chamber. Thousands are mailed from the Chamber office in answer to mail and telephone inquiries.
Your business will be listed with pride in our annual "Chamber Directory."
The Chincoteague Chamber is constantly aware of all legal issues at state, federal and local levels that could affect commerce in our area.
Direct referrals of people seeking your product or service are provided.
Your business will be listed in the "Directory" at this web site; and if you like, we will provide, at no additional cost, an "Info Box," and inclusion in the Chincoteague On-Line Shopping section (see "Web Site Benefits" below).
