Visit Detroit partners and friends,
As we stand at the threshold of 2024, reflecting on the triumphs of 2023 fills me with immense pride. The Southeast Michigan hospitality sector reached unprecedented heights, with our hotels surpassing $1 billion in revenue, an achievement that firmly cements Detroit as a premier destination. I extend heartfelt appreciation to Dr. Antoine Garabaldi, our esteemed past Board Chair, whose contributions have been invaluable.
Welcoming David Katz as our new Board Chair is an exciting chapter for Visit Detroit. David’s vision and dedication will undoubtedly contribute to our continued success. My gratitude extends to all partners in the Southeast Michigan hospitality community; your collaboration has been pivotal.
Visit Detroit is at the forefront of our state’s commitment to attracting and retaining talent that will put Michigan firmly on a growth trajectory. We are helping to create a virtuous circle of upward growth by building a community that people want to visit, which in turn is a community that people live, work, and invest in.
The momentum we’ve collectively cultivated is extraordinary, and I am eager to witness the unfolding opportunities and achievements that await us in 2024.
Warm regards,
Claude Molinari
President and CEO, Visit Detroit
