Michigan and water are synonymous – for it was water which led to European traders first arriving at Michigan and conversely it was water again which led the present day tourist to the gateway of Michigan.

Like many other countries Michigan possesses expanses of farmland and forests and cities both big and small – what sets Michigan apart from others is what led to the first visitors to this country – Water!

Michigan being geographically demarcated by water and this is more than evident from the fact that it is surrounded by small ‘seas’.

THE LAKES CONNECTION

Michigan is known as much for lakes as it is for tourism and scenic beauty. It is interspersed with well over eleven thousand lakes which are all inland and there could scarcely be a better location for the boating enthusiast – making it a ‘must visit’ destination for those with a passion for boating, fishing or swimming – or even experiencing the shoreline and the exhilaration that it is invariably associated with! If beauty be the yardstick the Michigan landmarks of the likes of Pictured Rocks, Grand Traverse Bay and Sleeping Bear Dunes have few parallel if any!

THE TOURIST ENIGMA

Michigan arguably has few parallels for those wanting to explore the beauty of beaches and water making it a viable option for buying hotels for the tourism industry is swelling the coffers. To illustrate the case in point – Ann Harbor is one destination which few can ignore – considering that this quaint locale may well house the one and only University of Michigan – nevertheless there is more to Ann Harbor than merely the academia – it has well over thirty bookstores for those with a penchant for books while conversely those with children would revel in the numerous museums which are more than a feast for the young learning mind – this and much more makes it a one stop destination for most domestic and foreign travelers alike – investing and buying a hotel in this place could scarcely be challenge for those with the passion and the inclination to succeed!
