We Hustle, You Shine: Visit Detroit's Promise to Partners
Visit Detroit is America’s oldest visitors and convention bureau – but it’s so much more than that. We’re proud to be one of the strongest advocates for Detroit, bringing our city’s culture, cuisine, hospitality, and iconic, authentic hustle to audiences around the world.
We’re always stepping up our game, honing our message, and making sure it works for the people that really matter: Detroiters. Becoming a partner is how restaurateurs and hospitality professionals like you make sure that their voices are heard – and is the best way to make what you do more visible to the millions of travelers who visit Detroit every year.

Visit Detroit Partnership 101
What does it really mean to partner with Visit Detroit? We’ll always work to promote what your business offers to our tourism audience. But what we do runs much deeper than an increase in website visits or in-store foot traffic.
Being a partner makes you part of a movement – one founded on pride in our hometown, powered by hard work and innovation, and with an eye on cutting through the noise and elevating Detroit’s place on the world stage.
We know that Detroit is always on the move. Now, we’re telling that story – claiming our place in American identity, owning our influence on global culture, and building a future founded on homegrown hustle and innovation. This city is on the rise; the partnership program makes sure you’re right there with us at the top.

Hustle Hard, Shine Together
Our partnerships have been key to some of Detroit’s biggest events in recent memory. We were proud to work together with our restaurant, hotel, vendor, and venue partners to host the 2024 NFL Draft, a gargantuan event that drew 775,000 fans to the Motor City. It became the most attended NFL Draft ever – and further raised the profile of our city, our organization and our partners.
Being a partner is all about making connections. That’s why we gather for an Annual Partnership Meeting, where we celebrate our wins and bring a game plan for future success. Joining means you’ll get to meet more movers and shakers just like you – and work together to set the tone for what’s coming next.
Naturally, the opportunities don’t stop there. We boost our partners with events like Hometown Tourist Day, where Detroit entrepreneurs have the chance to reintroduce themselves to locals and connect with other businesses. We also have the yearly ROSE Awards – a ceremony to recognize the cream of the crop in Detroit service, hospitality and lifetime achievement.
