Travel in city Motor

For the first time, Detroit will serve as host site of U.S. Travel’s IPW, the leading international inbound travel trade show and largest generator of travel to the United States, the association announced today. IPW will be held in the city on June 10-14, 2028.

Motors and Motown put Detroit on the map. Michigan’s largest city also has a vibrant cultural scene expressed through street murals and a rotating fleet of 75 seasonal food trucks. Served by the free-to-ride QLine Streetcar, Woodward Avenue links Downtown Detroit with Brush Park, Midtown, and the Amtrak station. The Detroit People Mover (DPM) is free for 2024, meaning that you’ll have more dollars to put toward sightseeing – or a place to hang your hat. Featuring skyline condos and artsy lofts, these Airbnbs in Detroit have as much character as Motor City.

Turkish Airlines flies to 345 destinations in more different nations than any other carrier in the world, with one of the newest and most acclaimed airports as its hub. It also consistently ranks among the very best airlines and just won–again–Best Airline in Europe in the 2023 Skytrax World Airline Awards, the industry’s most influential, beating out the likes of Air France, Swiss, Lufthansa, British Airways and Virgin Atlantic. It also took home four other Number Ones in the awards, including Best Economy Class Seat in Europe and Best Business Class Cuisine worldwide. (I recently wrote in detail here at Forbes about another award-winning carrier, Qatar Airways, which has won World’s Best Airline and World’s Best Business Class among other titles).

Visit Detroit is proud to announce the launch of the Detroit Pizza Passport, a unique digital pass designed to help locals and visitors explore the best pizza city in the United States.

Long considered the automobile capital of the world, hence its “Motor City” nickname, Detroit is also where Motown music originated and produced an array of stellar performers throughout the Golden Age of Rock and Roll. Michigan’s largest city, Detroit is home to storied professional sports teams while delectable, eclectic cuisine can be found throughout the city. A must-see attraction, the Detroit Institute of Arts houses one of the largest art collections in the United States.

The Motor City is on the move with new flight routes.  Turkish Airlines has begun selling tickets for new service between Detroit, Michigan and Istanbul, Turkey. The flight will be the only nonstop service connecting the two cities, and offer passengers the option to connect in Istanbul to over 100 different countries and destinations. Turkish Airlines says they fly to more countries than any other airline.   The airline will operate the service to Istanbul from Detroit three days a week, on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
