Michigan has become part of a group of prominent US states, including Pennsylvania, Texas, Nevada, New York, and Florida, actively seeking to attract international tourists. This growing competition coincides with the start of the busy Memorial Day travel period.
Memorial Day travel commenced late in May 2026 and is gathering pace, with these states aiming to draw a share of the increased arrival numbers. Tourists visiting these destinations over the holiday may notice more efforts geared towards tourism promotion and activities.
