It's Pure Michigan with Kelly Walgamott

Travel Talk with Ed Finn

Saturday, 26 April 2025 - 15 minutes

On Travel Talk this morning we are chatting to Kelly Wolgamott, the Vice President of Pure Michigan. The introduction of a direct Delta Airlines flight from Dublin to Detroit, commencing in May 2025, marks a significant milestone for both Michigan and the tourism sector. This new route enhances connectivity between Ireland and Michigan, facilitating easier travel for both business and leisure purposes. With over one million people of Irish descent residing in Michigan, the direct link is expected to strengthen cultural and familial ties, fostering increased tourism and economic exchange between the two regions.

For those planning a visit, Michigan offers a wealth of attractions, from the vibrant city life of Detroit to the serene landscapes of the Upper Peninsula. The state's official tourism website, michigan.org, provides comprehensive information on destinations, events, and travel planning resources. Whether you're interested in exploring the bustling streets of Detroit, enjoying the natural beauty of the Great Lakes, or experiencing the state's rich cultural heritage, Michigan has something to offer every traveller.
