March 2022
The 2022 Visitor Inspiration Guide is here and showcases our destination in a whole new and exciting way! We are getting the Guides out into the community now so please contact Lori Lanspeary at llanspeary@lansing.org if you need copies for your business. It is available in a digital version as well at Visitor Inspiration Guide.
During the annual meeting, the GLCVB recognized many of the region's 400 Certified Tourism Ambassadors that are dedicated to making every visitor experience a positive one. Those acknowledged include 34 CTAs that have served the community for five years and 52 CTAs that have served for 10 years. Amy Piper, CTA local author of 100 Things to Do in Lansing Before You Die was celebrated as the CTA Star of the Year.

As we celebrate the 11th year of the CTA program we have some catching up to do in recognizing those who have been in the program for a number of years. In 2021 and 2022, there were thirty-four CTAs who received their 5-year pins and fifty-two CTAs who received their 10-year pins. Thank you to all who help make every visitor experience a positive one!

The GLCVB would like to thank the Wharton Center for Performing Arts for the chance to partner with them on some fabulous ticket giveaways for CTAs. On March 2, Jennifer Marsh and Joy Gleason were able to attend Mean Girls courtesy of Wharton Center. Both were picked during a random drawing at the CTA Virtual Meet Up on February 22nd. In order to be eligible for the tickets they had to share their experience on social media. We are so lucky to have a top-notch facility for Broadway level performances to come to the #LoveLansing region! We’re even more excited that they chose us to partner with to give awesome opportunities to our CTA’s!
The February “What Am I?” picture was a picture of the Cozy Koi Bed & Breakfast in downtown Lansing. Congratulations to M. A. Lee (Retired) and Kristi Schwartzly (City of Lansing) for the correct answer!
