Hum, interesting but maybe a little too limited...

In France they are "Chambres de Commerce et d'Industrie" but also 
"Chambres d'Agriculture" and "Chambre des Métiers et de l'Artisanat" 
(handicraft and workshops...). They are globaly designated as "Chambres 
Consulaires" (for historical reasons). They are organised in several 
levels, local, department, region, country (and also Europe : Eurochambres).

It would be interesting to have a more generic tag for all them, and 
subtags for the type and the level.
