Encouraging Trends
In terms of the purpose of a visit, 17% of hotel guests come for mee琀椀ngs, 25% for other business
trips, and 58% for leisure. Chris Moyer of Visit Detroit calculates the need for 4,000 more hotel
rooms to e昀昀ec琀椀vely compete for and accommodate major spor琀椀ng events and conven琀椀ons in the
future. Detroit hit a key milestone in 2025 with two consecu琀椀ve years of popula琀椀on growth. This
popula琀椀on growth is expected to a琀琀ract more a琀琀en琀椀on into downtown areas and support investor
appe琀椀te.
