# The growth of Cannabis tourism

## Each year, thousands of visitors flock to northern Michigan for our beaches, our wineries, our trout streams, and our Nordic ski trails…just to name a few. 

But are they also coming for our cannabis?

Canna tourism has taken root in states like Colorado, Oregon, and California, where bud-minded visitors can take tours, attend events, and explore offerings at different dispensaries and consumption lounges. Those states have a few years of experience on us, but according to Brian Buchanan—director of tourism strategy for Dunegrass Co., a NoMi cannabis retailer with six locations in the region—the Michigan canna tourism scene is starting to grow.

“Around 30 percent of leisure travelers base their travel plans around where they can consume recreational cannabis,” says Buchanan. “For towns in northern Michigan, that means that there are tourists that are picking their town or a town near them based on the availability of recreational marijuana.”

Read more about the growth of cannabis tourism - and other marijuana-related stories, including on market saturation, product pricing, and edibles and infusions - in this week's *Northern Express*, sister publication of *The Ticker*. The *Northern Express* is available to read online, or pick up a free copy at one of nearly 700 spots in 14 counties across northern Michigan.
