Tourism Improving Michigan's
Economy, TIME Coalition
TisAboutTIME.org
is a website developed for the purpose of building support
for increasing appropriations for tourism promotion, without
the imposition of new taxes, fees or surcharges on Michigan
travelers, tourists or residents. This website is all about
“Tourism Improving Michigan's Economy.”
Objective
The purpose of the TIME Coalition is to increase funding
for Michigan's Tourism Promotion program to $30 million
annually, without raising taxes, surcharges or fees. Funding
at such levels would allow Travel Michigan to engage in
a truly national advertising campaign for the first time
ever.
Here are just a few of the reasons why members of TIME
believe that Michigan has a tourism product worthy of national
attention:
• Michigan's unique geography provides visitors more
miles of freshwater shoreline than any state in the country.
• Michigan ranks among the national leaders in total
number of golf courses and number of golf courses per capita.
• Michigan retains its title as the number one boating
state in the country with over 901,060 boats registered
to private individuals.
• With over 40 downhill ski resorts, Ski magazine
has named Michigan as the Midwest's Top Ski Destination!
• Michigan boasts over 5,800 miles of snowmobile trails
located in State & National Forests, and is one of only
three states that offer a large system of interconnected
and groomed snowmobile trails.
Regardless of the season, Michigan offers some of the best
in vacation and recreational opportunities nationwide. Unfortunately,
few people outside of the Great Lakes region know this great
tourism product exists. The members of TIME intend to improve
awareness of Michigan tourism opportunities to help grow
our state's economy!
The Michigan Golf Course Owners Association is please to
be an active participant in this important endeavor.
