About Us

The mission of the TLC is to provide a unified group with committed leadership pledged to promote, protect and serve the interests of the tourism and hospitality industries of the greater Savannah area.

In 1997, seven tourism and hospitality professionals had a vision to establish an organization that would support the local tourism industry with programs, scholarships and other projects. Thirty-seven businesses contributed $1000 each to provide seed money for the organization, and the first TLC meeting was held in July 1998. Since that time, the organization has grown to more than 200 member businesses. The TLC enjoys a diverse membership, including hotels/motels/bed and breakfasts, restaurants, food and beverage distributors, caterers, tour companies, retail shops, printers, law offices, and many other companies whose customers are in the tourism industry.

The non-profit professional association continually strives to provide our members with resources to strengthen their businesses. These resources include networking opportunities for industry professionals, educational seminars and training for industry employees, monthly luncheons with informative topics, a job-listing website and job fairs and an emergency fund available for members in times of crisis. The TLC is dedicated to leading the way for greater tourism in Savannah and strives to ensure that the needs of the local tourism industry are being addressed.
