We work to provide the resources, platforms and opportunities for individual local businesses to market their services and products to a variety of travel audiences, including leisure tourists, convention planners and meeting/trade show attendees.
Visit Savannah works closely with Chamber member businesses to ensure the continued growth and success of our economy. Many of these businesses take an active role in the development of the city through our cooperative sales and marketing projects, councils, task forces and committees.

Our Commitment to Social Inclusion
At Visit Savannah and Visit Tybee Island, we are dedicated to fostering social inclusivity that genuinely reflects our destinations' rich culture and identity. Through thoughtful evaluations of our marketing materials, we apply a diversity and inclusion lens to ensure our content represents the vibrant communities of Savannah, Chatham County and the visitors we serve.
By staying attuned to emerging trends in diverse and minority markets, we aim to craft strategies that resonate with a wide range of audiences. Our ultimate goal is to create a welcoming and inclusive environment, positioning Savannah and Tybee Island as leisure and meeting destinations for all.
Savannah has a rich history with roots long before its founding in 1733. The Yamacraw people, a band of the Creek Nation, originally inhabited this land, and we proudly honor their legacy—especially the leadership of Chief Tomochichi—throughout the city. The spirit of cooperation between the Yamacraw and early British settlers is a reminder that our greatest challenges are best met together. In a city so deeply connected to its past, we remain committed to recognizing the contributions of all who have shaped this special place we call home.
