Take a Space Coast Staycation: Rediscover Your Own Backyard

When the COVID-19 pandemic started making its way across the Space Coast, life as we knew it changed in a heartbeat. COVID-19 became real when stay-at-home orders went into effect, causing local businesses who were otherwise thriving, to slow to a trickle or close entirely. 

The pandemic shall pass, but the Melbourne Regional Chamber isn’t waiting. We are actively providing resources for the business community to recover and sharing impactful opportunities for community members to promote local businesses across the Space Coast. 

Hence the inspiration behind the Melbourne Regional Chamber’s Space Coast Staycation Campaign. The Chamber knows tourism is a top demand driver of the Space Coast economy. Until outside tourism returns, we plan to encourage residents to rediscover what makes the Space Coast such a desirable vacation spot while also supporting our hospitality partners at the same time. 

The goal of this grass roots revitalization campaign is to drive the local economy, post-pandemic, utilizing local influencers and an interactive staycation-planner. This will not only be a fun way to help boost the local economy, but it will give residents a way to give back to their community by becoming tourists in their own town. 

How It Works 

SpaceCoastStaycation.com was designed to help residents in and around the Space Coast plan the perfect staycation and support local tourism based businesses.

At the core, there will be a landing page with the ability to build an itinerary of their Space Coast Staycation with the results of their itinerary being shareable to social media channels. Locals will be able to choose multiple local businesses to create a staycation itinerary. The influencer-centric campaign also aims to increase reach and engagement on social media, as well as traffic to the custom website.
