The Covid-19 pandemic is hitting many industries hard, including tourism.
Michigan Visitor Bureaus across the state are coming together to promote each other’s local businesses through a gift card scavenger hunt during National Travel and Tourism week.
“We’re trying to promote tourism, not just individual communities, but we’re trying to promote it for each other through the whole state,” said Mecosta County Visitors Bureau Executive Director Connie Koepke.
This week, you can find clues to different areas around Mecosta County on the Visitors Bureau’s Facebook page.
“When you solve one of the scavenger hunt questions, you just need to post a photo, send it in our Facebook messenger, and then we’ll give you information on where you need to travel next to reach the final destination,” said Koepke.
Pure Michigan scavenger hunt offers prizes across the state
Michigan is sprawling state filled with rivers, lakes, rolling hills, expansive pine forests and massive dunes.
There’s also more than 96,000 square miles of lakeside towns, bustling cities, and scenic beauty to explore, and if you do so in the next week, you’ll have a chance to win some awesome prizes through The Great Michigan Scavenger Hunt & Giveaway.
The event celebrating National Travel & Tourism Week will be held May 2-8. National Travel & Tourism Week 2021 recognizes how travel in bringing back vibrant communities, restoring the U.S. economy, rebuilding the workforce, and reconnecting America.
