| Tourism |
| Although tourism is not important to siting a vineyard, it is critical to the development of wineries with tasting rooms. In this map, high values indicate high tourism traffic. Wineries in these areas may benefit from the current tourism market. These ratings were developed by the Travel, Tourism and Recreation Resources Center at Michigan State University based on the percent of tourism market share, the annual vehicle miles of travel on state highways and county primary roads in 2002 and the number of campsites, lodging rooms, and second homes. The Center also has county specific tourism data. |
