A whole lot of Leelanau tourism talk

Filed under: Leelanau, beach, government, photo, travel — Andrew McFarlane @ 11:22 am

The Leelanau Enterprise wonders if two separate discussions regarding the future of tourism in the Leelanau Peninsula may end in the same place.

Business owners are flocking to privately sponsored "listening sessions" being held throughout Leelanau County, while a major discussion was held last week about the possibility of establishing a county-wide convention and visitors bureau with authority to levy an assessment on hotel guests.

Since I am involved in the "listening sessions," and we're not done listening yet, I don't really have much to say regarding this other than it is a very interesting article and you should definitely read New tourism initiatives pushed in the Enterprise.
