Having a hard time coming up with gift ideas for some people on your list? Travel Michigan vice president Dave Lorenz suggests the gift of travel in our state.
“Especially after all we’ve gone through in the pandemic, I think people realize experience to so many is more important than stuff. Nothing wrong with buying things and I hope people go out there and buy a whole bunch of things, and buy them from Michigan retailers, but there is something something very intimate and personal about buying travel.”
Lorenz says a lot of people also like popular events like “Van Gogh in America” at the Detroit Institute of Arts and concerts. He says travel in the state pumped $28 billion into the state economy before the pandemic, and he says things are coming back. He says not enough people are going back to work, though.
