The majority of Michigan is very safe, though of course there are hazards. Some urban areas can be intimidating to travelers, such as downtown Detroit and some of its inner suburbs, but this is based on somewhat exaggerated sensational stories. Most places are completely safe during daylight hours and important main entertainment and cultural centers are heavily policed after dark. Use common sense traveling in and through urban areas especially after dark. Outside of urban areas Michigan is the typical friendly-as-can-be Midwest state.

Without the one-time funding measure, which is expected to be spent over a period of years, Michigan would have spent just $5.7 million to promote tourism. Meanwhile, competing states like Illinois and Wisconsin spend $48 and $13 million to promote travel to their states.

Spring, summer, and fall golfing is beautiful in Michigan with its blossoms, green leaves, and autumnal foliage. Similarly, golfing in Washington, Maine, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, and Vermont, like in Michigan, is beautiful in spring, summer, and fall. However, four-season golfers should follow the golfing trails south and try fall golfing in Tennessee, Virginia, and Alabama, Texas, and Louisiana. Year-round golfers find California, Nevada, and Florida great states for golfing. Those golfers wanting additional four-season golfing suggestions for the Caribbean click on TravelUSAonline.com and enjoy some great golfing.

Every year, U-M professors, Janie Paul and Buzz Alexander, along with various student and community volunteers, travel across Michigan to visit prisons and collect art for an annual exhibit of prison art at the University of Michigan. Now in its 13th year, the show has become the largest exhibit of prison art in the country, with hundreds of prisoners participating each year. While art-making has always been part of prison life, this exhibition in the 'outside' world, no less at a prestigious university, has generated work unlike that of any other state. Acts of Art will broadcast on all PBS stations across Michigan in March and April.
