Lansing
An in-depth look at how the tourism industry affects Lansing
|
When it comes to tourism, you would think Lansing wouldn’t be too high on most people’s list of places to visit. Unlike popular tourist destinations like Los Angeles and Miami, Lansing isn’t that big. According to the 2016 U.S. Census, Lansing’s population doesn’t even exceed 120,000 people. One could argue that if it weren’t for Lansing being Michigan’s capital city and home to Michigan State University, the city would be relatively unknown. But despite all of this, the mitten state’s capital city still sees its fare share of visitors.
