Southern Delaware Tourism (SDT) was selected to host one of two meetings this spring of the Eastern Chapter of the Society of American Travel Writers (SATW). The meeting was held at the Hyatt Place Dewey Beach on June 6-9.
In their first in-person meeting since 2019, 17 SATW members, including 12 travel writers, attended the three-day event, which included a full day of professional development featuring a panel of Culinary Coast restaurateurs and marketers discussing why and how Delaware has become such a foodie paradise, as well as whatâs new and upcoming.
The day also featured Stephanie Puglisi, head of content for Roadtrippers and Togo RV, presenting the keynote, as well as talks by Mark Carter, director of Beer & Benevolence for Dogfish Head, and Jim Rapp, owner and guide for Delmarva Birding Weekends.

It’s no secret that businesses are struggling throughout the pandemic, with many having to overcome new challenges.
“It seems like we get over one hurdle and then another obstacle is created, so right now what’s going on is we’re having staffing shortages,” Susan Jones, Executive Director of the OC Hotel Motel Restaurant Association, said.
I’m told those staffing shortages aren’t just being seen locally, but across the country.
For places like Ocean City, they believe they’re feeling the impacts a little harder than places that aren’t seasonal destinations.
“We have the demand so people are actually coming to our community to vacation, so we need the workers desperately,” Jones said.
