There's nothing quite like a travel article in a major newspaper to funnel tourists to a resort. Unfortunately for Park City, the Los Angeles Times offers a dose of good and bad publicity in a travel article last weekend.

LATimes writer Jay Jones reminds his California readers that some gay rights activists have theatened to boycott the Park City's Sundance Film Festival to punish the LDS church for supporting Proposition 8 in California. (I'm not sure I can remember how that linkage is supposed to work.)

Bill Malone, PC's Chamber executive director, points out the tourism biz has scarier problems to deal with, like people more worried about paying their mortgages than buying lift tickets:

Measuring the impact of a Proposition 8 boycott is impossible. The big story is the economy.

Finally low in the story, Jones says something helpful to the resorts — because of the miserable economy, Park City visitors can "save some big bucks," even during Sundance.
