As a state our tourism advertising campaign (Pure Michigan) is a real winner and can be found http://www.michigan.org/ at that link. We are the Great Lakes State and have a lot to offer in recreation tourism that is really all seasons not just summer. Fall color tours and hunting play a big role in that tourism as well as downhill and cross country skiing and snowmobiling in the winter. This campaign promotes the state overall, various communities and regions also do a very good job with promoting and branding, others, not so much.

I believe that if you are familiar with my postings you can tell I am a big promoter of Michigan and love living here for all that we have to offer. Michigan is incredibly diverse in it's natural features and resources. Plenty of big cities with their accompanying urban sprawl and miles and miles of untouched shoreline, lakes, rivers and steams that are pristine. I'm bragging about my state, but we do have it all.
