[edit] Port Huron's dying tourism industry
WE NEED support in transformation of Port Huron's dying tourism industry, particularly by providing opportunities to new business participation; and to facilitate implementation a of tourism development / investment programs.
How about a tourism program development / investment division-group-department...??? To undertake focused research promoting tourism development and transformation. One which supports niche export markets; implements projects to improve sector competitiveness, and be the first point of contact for tourism businesses to access the local opportunities and offerings.
Tourism drives local economy...bottom line!

No ENTERTAINMENT topic! ..........and very boring reading............!!
Then this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankenmuth,_Michigan
Compare the History and Entertainment sections of each site!
Especially this> "Each year, over 100,000 people enjoy the annual Sunday Big Parade, usually featuring over 100 entries including marching bands, decorated floats, dance clubs, visiting dignitaries, entertainers, royalty, and that year's newly crowned Bavarian Princess and her Court."
The Bavarian Festival has been voted one of the "Top 5 Festivals in the State of Michigan" by AAA's Michigan Living Magazine.
To me this says SOMEONE needs to revamp the "attraction venues" in this city. We are the FRESH WATER CAPITOL of the world! Doesn't the city have an advertising & public relations group that can do a 180????? C-O-M-M-U-N-I-T-Y------E-F-F-O-R-T!!!!!!!!!
1. Boosting procurement from local businesses 2. Stimulating local cultural and heritage products 3. Building local partnerships 4. Setting corporate priorities and managing internal change.
Look beyond what is currently provided to tourists, delve deeper into local culture Develop very different products for cultural specialists and for the mainstream with an more interest. Tackle both supply and demand. Help local products to reach quality standards and, at the same time, address how they are marketed and reached by guests Establish new partnerships with local experts. Combine their cultural expertise with others business skills in ways that benefit both sides. Pay particular attention to logistics and standards. While these are needed for any product or idea, the informal, often rural, nature of many cultural and heritage product providers may pose extra challenges Assess options in terms of how they can support thriving local enterprise by encouraging spin-offs and linkages.

[edit] Shopping
The section on shopping is a joke. Nothing is mentioned about shops in the city. The only thing that is mentioned is the mall which is in fort gratiot. The section must either change or go..... Zygnoda (talk) 19:44, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Internal Link on Carnegie is wrong
I put in the museums, but the internal link to Carnegie goes to something outside Port Huron, in New York. This needs to be fixed. HELP Please. 7&6=thirteen (talk) 13:49, 25 January 2008 (UTC)Stan I've fixed this by creating an article. 7&6=thirteen (talk) 14:11, 25 January 2008 (UTC)Stan
[edit] Flint/Tri-Cities
It says that the the city is in the thumb (which is part of tri-cities). Looking at the link for the tri-cites shows that the county is part of the southeast michigan region. I think the mention of the tri cities region is not necessary. It just makes things more complicated.. if we get into that it seems like their is need for further explanation. The county + city connects to both the thumb and southeast michigan. Zygnoda (talk) 07:13, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
