North Coast Update: High Curiosity, But Still A Dip In Tourism


By The Center for Michigan - August 10, 2007

Michigan's official tourism web site continued to lead the nation in visits in July, but actual tourism in down a bit this year due to the state's lagging economy and higher gasoline prices according to Comerica Bank's Michigan Tourism index.
