When I lived out of state on the East Coast, I could fly a LOT of places cheaper
than the airfare back to Detroit Metro merely to see family, friends.

If your best buddy wanted to come to Detroit for a VACATION
where would you go, what would you do, that was not specific to an event ?
Spending hours and hours and hours in car, doing big mileage, doesn't cut it

What would bring someone to Detroit, spend their hard earned cash,
- If it was NOT related to a sports game, and NOT related to the casino ?
Phone the Visitors Center and ask them what visitors seem most interested in. If they're just here to visit relatives or because their job sent them, they won't even go into a visitor center. Those who do will be asking for info on the best attractions and the Visitors Center will know what are the real crowd-pleasers.

Curiosity about Detroit's history could be one of the main drawcards - the automotive history, the musical history, the architectural history...
