Alliance Affiliate Organizations
By joining the Michigan Hospitality & Tourism Alliance (MHTA) as an “Alliance Affiliate” your organization strengthens our united effort to promote and protect Michigan's travel and tourism industry. Alliance Affiliates play a vital role in shaping and supporting MHTA’s messaging and advocacy.
Your membership will allow your organization to directly engage in our mission to educate stakeholders, elected officials and industry leaders as to the importance of our hospitality and tourism industries, to secure critical investments, to defend against attacks and to elevate our voice throughout Michigan. While voting rights may be reserved for certain membership levels, non-voting members like Alliance Affiliates play a vital role in shaping and supporting MHTA’s messaging and advocacy.
