What Fort Myers Beach Chamber of Commerce does

The Greater Fort Myers Beach Area Chamber of Commerce, Inc. (operating as the Fort Myers Beach Chamber or FMB Chamber) is a private, non-profit 501(c)-style membership organization incorporated in Florida that functions as the official visitor information and tourism promotion body for Fort Myers Beach. Its primary mission is to promote the destination to tourists and to support local member businesses through networking, advertising, and community programming. It serves two distinct customer segments: tourists and visitors seeking trip planning resources (accommodations, dining, activities, real-time beach and water conditions, boating safety, and events), and Fort Myers Beach-area businesses that join as members for visibility, networking events, and promotional opportunities.

The Chamber's product surface is anchored by a WordPress-based website (fortmyersbeach.org) that delivers a visitor information portal, a searchable member business directory, an events calendar, a vacation deals platform, job postings, hurricane preparedness resources, and the 2026-27 Visitor's Guide in both digital and printed formats. Physically, the Chamber operates the visitor center known as "The Roxie" at 1028 Estero Blvd at the base of the Matanzas Pass Bridge. It has an affiliated nonprofit subsidiary, the Fort Myers Beach Chamber Water Foundation, focused on water quality and environmental initiatives. Leadership consists of President Jacki Liszak and Board Chairman Bob Beville.

Revenue is generated through business membership dues, advertising fees from member businesses, and sales of the printed visitor guide; specific pricing tiers are not publicly disclosed and the organization is actively operating in 2026 with continued focus on post-hurricane community rebuilding and recovery support.
