Vacation in Detroit ?

[Willi]

For someone to fly from New York to Detroit will cost them about $300
- for the same price one could go to a southern destination like Miami

There needs to be a strong, strong, desire for people to part with their cash
- just don't think Detroit has that appeal factor , across the USA, for ordinary people.
Oh look Honey, let's go to Detroit to see the Heidelberg project, in person, up close...er no;
-- I can see it just fine here on the internet and pocket the $500 it would cost.

People just won't spend $500 or $1,000 to come to the D;
especially if they don't give diddly poo about sports or casinos.

Tooooo many post from their perspective of KNOWING almost everything about the city
-- but to JON DOE from NoWhere, USA there just isn't that pool of info to draw from.
Hence the money gets spent elsewhere, where they do cater to tourism.
