Advocacy, Education & Marketing

  • MECOA’s Advocacy work includes legislative and agency representation at the state and national level, as well as the participation in organizations such as the Maine Hospitality and Tourism Alliance. MECOA is the recognized representative of camping’s interest in the tourism industry.
  • MECOA’s Education program provides the informational and educational needs and resources members require through the knowledge base of the office staff, network opportunities at member events, and ARVC’s “Outdoor Hospitality Education Program“. MECOA also hosts a Trade Show annually for its members to connect with business members on a personal level.
  • MECOA’s Marketing opportunities are vast. We produce the Maine Camping Guide each year and have the CampMaine.com for all camping public to research and find the right campground member for their needs. CampMaine.com is commonly the first stop for camping enthusiasts before they make their summer camping plans. For its campground members, MECOA also provides business resources for many different services and products.
