Last week, our QAC Economic Development & Tourism team had the opportunity to celebrate both National Travel & Tourism Week and Small Business Week by visiting 35 of the incredible tourism-related small businesses that help make Queen Anne’s County such a special place to live, work, and visit.

From local shops and attractions to experiences on the water, we were proud to thank the people whose passion and hard work support our local economy and showcase the best of our community every day.

One of the highlights of the week was getting out on the water to experience the planting of baby oysters — a reminder that tourism, environmental stewardship, and our waterfront heritage all go hand in hand here in QAC. Supporting our waterways today helps preserve the experiences, industries, and natural beauty that visitors and residents enjoy for generations to come.

Thank you to all of our small businesses, tourism partners, and watermen for everything you do for Queen Anne’s County! 💙🦪
