Show Magazine Needed to Promote Utah, Tourists Declare Utah should have a magazine of the calibre of Arizona Highways High-ways to promote the state, and there is a great need in Utah for many more roadside parks suitable suit-able for camping and picnicking. These are the opinions voiced most often by the many Utahns attending area travel clinics in the state since last summer, according ac-cording to D. James Cannon of the State Tourist and Publicity Council. He has compiled a list of suggestions made at the travel clinics held in Vernal, Logan, Moab,. Richfield, Monticello, St. George, Provo and Kanab. Other top ranking suggestions made at the clinics emphasized the need for a better informed citizenry, more and better ac-ces ac-ces roads to local attractions and more and better signs and directions. di-rections. Especially those persons who meet tourists in some capacity should be informed on local and state-wide attractions, as well as being acquainted with local and state history. Tourist literature should be available in larger quantities and easier for tourists to obtain. Tourists desire evening recreation recre-ation and are disappointed in the lack of entertainment to be found in parts of Utah. There is also a demand more more local tours and more publicizing of local attractions. There appeared to be a recognition recog-nition among many who made comments that different areas should practice "reciprocity" that is point out the attractions and other regions and influence tourists to stay longer in the state as a whole. State parks also were mentioned men-tioned in connection with the comment that there are not enough of them, and that certain specified attractions should be given state park status. Even if a politician doesn't have a leg to stand on he may still try to run for office. |
