Michigan Hospitality and Tourism Alliance is announced.  What does it mean for state tourism?

The new Michigan Hospitality & Tourism Alliance is off to a great start in pursuit of full #PureMichigan funding to boost Michigan's economy and small businesses everywhere. Justin Winslow of the Michigan Restaurant and Lodging Association talked to WILS about boosting one of Michigan's most important industries.

"Chris Moyer, senior director of communications for Visit Detroit -- one of the groups behind MHTA -- said $50 million is what Pure Michigan needs to be competitive with other states. He called Wednesday’s budget recommendation the starting point, and now it’s up to the group to work with the legislature to increase the budget."

“These are competing states, and we’re dramatically larger than them as a state, in terms of population and total revenue, but we are lacking in our investment with $15 million being the existing Pure Michigan budget right now,” Winslow said. “The hope and the goal here is to unify with one clear message, at least out of the gate, the one thing that brings all these groups together — the desire to see Pure Michigan invested in a way that I think the data justifies, in a way that we are not being funded right now, for reasons that remain unclear.”

“He’s now proven two election cycles in a row he does not know how to run a statewide campaign,” Sellek said. “He has essentially tossed away this huge advantage of name ID in the most important media market in the state – unable to convert that into an effective campaign”

"The high-profile candidates in the GOP field fall into three buckets―those who haven’t said much to offend the former president, those who have used words to criticize him and those who did something against Trump like vote to impeach him," said Sellek.

"He's treating his candidacy like a land speculator. He's putting a few dollars on a piece of property and waiting to see if (Donald) Trump builds on it. If not, we're unlikely to see a fully formed campaign," said Sellek.

“You don’t know when the next big wave is coming, exactly, but you have to position yourself to jump on"

"We could be losing upwards of at least 30,000 jobs across Michigan inside restaurants," said John Sellek, a spokesman for Save MI Tips.

MRLA's Justin Winslow explains that the Michigan Hospitality and Tourism Alliance was formed to help reestablish the universally praised Pure Michigan advertising campaign, which creates an 11-1 return on investment.

“If we don’t find a way to right this ship this year, and $15 million becomes the accepted, new norm, then we have foregone a real opportunity to protect this industry,” Winslow said. “There’s a sense of urgency.”

“Justin Winslow, president and CEO of The Michigan Restaurant and Lodging Association, told Crain's Grand Rapids the group’s initial focus is to advocate for a $50 million budget for the PureMichigan advertising campaign ahead of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s 2024-25 budget presentation on Wednesday.”

"The endorsement stings because this is not a random political group, it's the on-the-ground police chiefs in every S.E. Michigan city and township who only care about the day-to-day challenges of fighting crime.”
