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.

Delmarva Birding Weekends is partnering with Dogfish Head Craft Brewery and its harbor-front hotel, the Dogfish Inn, to host the 2021 Lewes Delmarva Dogfish Birding Weekend.
Hundreds of nature enthusiasts will safely flock to the coast from Friday to Sunday, March 5 to 7, to enjoy a fusion of birds, boats and beer.
The birding and beer partnership recently wrapped up the Winter Delmarva Dogfish Birding Weekend Jan. 29-31. Participants enjoyed fantastic looks at several birds found on Delmarva only during the cold winter months, including common eider, purple sandpiper, American white pelican, great cormorant and razorbill.
