Holiday Inn Express and Suites, Bad Axe, MI BAD AXE AND HURON COUNTY If you love the comfort of small town living, but also like "big town" convenience, then Bad Axe is just the place for you! With just under 4,000 residents, Bad Axe is a quaint community surrounded by farmland and woods. The area offers a nice variety of restaurants, retail stores, florists, photographers, parks, churches, hair salons, hotels, etc. ... and more services and retailers are coming to the area all the time! Bad Axe is located approx. 20-30 minutes from Lake Huron and offers many recreational activi- ties for residents and visitors alike. Boating, fishing, hunting, camping, and golfing are just a few of the fun things to do in Michigan's Thumb. Please visit our Calendar page and area links to find more activities and events of interest. www.badaxemichigan.com Huron County Huron County is located at the northern tip of Michigan's thumb. It is rural and primarily agricul- tural, with approximately 82% of the land devoted to agriculture. The county ranks as the state's top producer of both dry beans and corn and is second highest in the production of sugar beets and dairy products. Other farm products include cattle, poultry, hogs, hay, wheat, oats, and bar- ley. The county manufactures metal, plastic, and glass products. The coastal towns of Sebewaing, Caseville, Port Austin, Harbor Beach, and Port Hope offer resort facilities. The coastal area also has many cottages. Wildfowl Bay Wildlife Area, Sleeper and Port Crescent State Parks, and Gagetown and Rush Lake State Game Areas offer a variety of recreational opportunities. High- way M-25 loops the county along Lake Huron. M-19 originates at M-142 and runs south. M-53 provides north-south access while M-142 provides east-west access. The Thumb is a region and a peninsula of Michigan, so named because the Lower Peninsula is shaped like a mitten, and the Thumb is the area that looks like the thumb of the mitten. The counties which constitute the Thumb area are those forming the extended peninsula that stretches into Lake Huron to the north and east and into Saginaw Bay to the west. There is no formal declaration for which of these counties are part of Michigan's Thumb. However, virtually all common definitions include the tri-counties of Huron County, Tuscola County, and Sanilac County. The definition is sometimes extended to include Lapeer County and St. Clair County as well. The fact that Lapeer and St. Clair counties are included in the Detroit Metropolitan Area also leads many people to exclude them from the Thumb region. Michigan's Thumb region is very flat with lush, fertile farmland, the reason for its historical role as a chiefly agricultural area. Major agricultural products are sugar beets, grains, beans, corn, fruits, and fish from Saginaw Bay and Lake Huron. The lush grass supports vast dairy herds and livestock. At the Lake Huron Shoreline, farming fields are separated from sandy beaches by Holiday Inn Express and Suites, Bad Axe, MI deep, cool, forests. We have the loveliest countryside and lakeshore imaginable - all for your en- joyment. The Thumb Area is a travel destination rich in natural scenic beauty, strong cultural heritage, and plenty of all-season activities. With more than 150 miles of shoreline, 2,100 miles of rivers and streams, 51,000 acres of public recreation land, 49,000 acres of state game/wildlife areas and plenty of hometown festivals and events, there’s something to do and see for everyone. Towns, such as Sebewaing, Bay Port, Caseville, Port Austin, Port Hope, Harbor Beach, Lexington, and Port Sanilac enjoy seasonal tourism, due to their locations on Lake Huron or Saginaw Bay. The Thumb lies within the east-central tourism region of the state. Michigan's Thumb is a short drive from most metropolitan areas in southeast Michigan, includ- ing Detroit, Flint, Saginaw, Lansing, and Port Huron. In fact, most Thumb Area attractions can be enjoyed on one tank of gas!

  • THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION of ATMOSPHERIC PRECIPITATION from SELECTED STATIONS in MICHIGAN CURTIS J. RICHARDSON, Resource Ecology
    THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF ATMOSPHERIC PRECIPITATION FROM SELECTED STATIONS IN MICHIGAN CURTIS J. RICHARDSON, Resource Ecology, School of Natural Resources, University of Michigan; and GEORGE E. MERVA, Department of Agricultural Engineering, Michigan State University. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Financial support for this study was provided by the Michigan State University Department of Agricultural Engineering and an NSF-RANN (project GI-34898) to The University of Michigan. We wish to thank M. Quade, Y. Wang, and J. Kruse for precipi- tation chemistry. D. Kiel and W. B. Rockwell were invaluable in the areas of computer management and statistical analyses. Cooperation of the Michigan Department of Health, The Michigan State Climatologists, The University of Michigan's Biological Station and School of Public Health, and the many wastewater treatment plant operators without whose help this report would not be possible, is gratefully acknowledged. ABSTRACT The pH and amount of rainfall from over 60 selected stations throughout northern and lower Michigan was determined from September 1972 to December 1974. Precipitation pH was determined for each station by calibrated electrode meters. The seasonal weighted average and median pH from all stations in the study was 5.0 and 6.3, respectively. Daily readings from stations throughout Michigan indicate that pH is dependent on the amount of rainfall and that variations in it are often locally controlled. Collectively the pH values suggest car- bonic acid control for most of the state. Annual median pH varied from a high of 8.45 at Dimondale, a station located 1.5 km from a concrete tile plant in central Michigan to 4.65 at Vassar, a small town located east of several industrial centers in the thumb region of the state.

  • Ethno-Tourism in Russian Regions: Challenges and Prospects for Development
    Athens Journal of Tourism - Volume 5, Issue 3 – Pages 205-216 Ethno-tourism in Russian Regions: Challenges and Prospects for Development By Anna N. Polukhina This paper aims to shed light on the prospects of ethno-tourism cluster development in Russian regions. The methodology provided in the paper is applicable for the study of cluster approaches in tourism. The focus here is on good practices of ethno-clusters in tourism in Russian regions. In order to achieve this analysis, specific methods are used, including: system and comparative analysis, assessment of the resources and capacities of regions, administrative diagnostics, expert estimates, in-depth interviews, and social and psychological researches. The main results of this study show that the challenges and prospects for ethno-tourism development are defined and supported by the Mari El case study. The factors influencing ethno-tourism development are the tourism potential of the region, the attitude of local authorities towards tourism, the availability of necessary infrastructure and qualified personnel. The conditions facilitating the success of tourism cluster development are also analyzed. Firstly, this requires development of the target program for tourism with an emphasis on ethno-tourism at the level of local authorities; secondly, investment in tourism infrastructure development is necessary. This research is of practical importance for the modernization of domestic tourism programs in order to boost the regional economy. Keywords: ethno-tourism, ethno-tourism clusters, regional tourism, ethno-tourism resources. Introduction The Russian Federation entered the Federal Target Program on Tourism Development until 2018. It was initiated by the Federal Target Program “Development of Incoming and Outgoing Tourism in the Russian Federation” between 2011-2016, which was approved by Regulation No.

Midland has evolved from an Indian village to the "City of Science and Culture." Midland's Wayfinding Signage The City of Midland was incorporated in 1887; three years later, a young electrochemical pioneer named Herbert Henry Dow arrived in Midland, attracted by the area’s plentiful brine wells, and subsequently founded The Dow Chemical Company. The growth and success of Dow has enabled Midland to become a cultural melting pot, attracting the minds of science, technology and innovation from around the globe.

    Contribution of Tourism to the Sustainable Development of the Local Community Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden Blekinge Tekniska Högskola, Sverige Contribution of Tourism to the Sustainable Development of the Local Community: Case studies of Alanya and Dubrovnik Ana Beban Huseyin Ok Mentor: Prof. Lars Emmelin Karlskrona, May 2006 Ana Beban, Huseyin Ok Master’s Programme in European Spatial Planning Blekinge Institute of Technology, May 2006 i Contribution of Tourism to the Sustainable Development of the Local Community SUMMARY The Mediterranean is the world’s number one tourist destination and the biggest tourism region in the world, which has been visited by 260 million tourists in 1990 and what is more, it is expected that this number will increase to 655 million by the year 2025. In the last 10 years Croatia and Turkey became two of the most popular Mediterranean destinations, and joined the trend of a growing number of European cities that are promoting the development of tourism in order to overcome the post-industrial crisis, or as in the case of Croatia, the post-war crisis. Consequently, today both countries see tourism as their economic future. However, to achieve continuous and sustainable development of tourism, three interrelated aspects should be taken into consideration: economic, social, and environmental. The main question that we tried to answer is in what ways tourism is contributing to the sustainable development of the local community - based on the case studies of Alanya in Turkey, and Dubrovnik in Croatia. Both communities have experienced rapid development of the tourism sector in the last 10 years, which still seems to rise continuously.

  • Sustainable Wine Tourism Development: Case Studies from the Greek Region of Peloponnese
    sustainability Article Sustainable Wine Tourism Development: Case Studies from the Greek Region of Peloponnese Dimitris Karagiannis and Theodore Metaxas * Department of Economics, University of Thessaly, 28hs Octovriou 78, 38333 Volos, Greece; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 22 May 2020; Accepted: 4 June 2020; Published: 26 June 2020 Abstract: Even though Greece has had an agriculture-oriented economy for decades, recently it has relied heavily on tourism, which now constitutes 30% of the national GDP. Successful developmental synergies of tertiary and primary sectors are still in question. Sustainability practices are still in their infant stage in both sectors of the economy, preventing development. This paper aims to study the relationship between tourism and sustainability in wine-related enterprises in Greece. This is achieved through an examination of the successful business practices of Greek wineries from the leading wine-producing region of the Peloponnese and the impact of sustainability toward their operational practices. Many studies have related sustainability to the wine industry and have recognized that for most wine-related practitioners, the first priority is leaving the land in a better shape for the next generation. The study focuses on illustrative successful Greek wineries that participate in the “Peloponnesian wine routes” cluster. Data were gathered from multiple sources, including secondary data, company records, internet information, face-to-face interviews and on-site observations. The analysis of data revealed a number of aspects between the sustainable wine tourism business practices explored and the way that innovation has evolved. Further studies on common denominators and distinguishing criteria between sustainable business practices would be valuable to researchers and practitioners, destination management organizations and regional development policy makers.
