Show Business Promoter Highly Optimistic Southern Utah, and particularly along route 89, will see more tourist travel during the season of 1931 than has ever before been experienced, is the opinion of Harry H. Jones, of the business promotion department of the Newhouse hotel at Salt Lake. There will be more California tourists coming the southern route than any of the other routes, according to Mr. Jones, and the numbers that will cruise from the east and pass down through Utah's scenic land, will naturally nat-urally make Southern Utah a busy place during the tourist travel season. Mr. Jones, who was accompanied by his wife and son, came in from the south Tuesday and stopped over long enough to meet some of the business men and outline some movements that would aid in attracting greater travel to the southland. Mr. Jones, in the capacity of business promotion manager man-ager for his company, travels throughout eleven of the western ! states and during his visitations he gets the pulse of the traveling public. Southern Utah, with its magnificent Bryce canyon, unparalleled in the whole world for its fantastic colorings color-ings of pinnacles, buildings, images and creatures of all kinds, painted in colors that baffle the famed artists, the greatest and most attractive highway high-way tunnel leading to Zions canyon, the Grand Canyon of the Colorado 1 and other scenic wonders, will serve 1 as a magnet as never before, and thousands will view these wonders during the present season. -Unfortunately, and due to the business bus-iness depression, the poorer ." classes will not swell the crowds, but the middle classes and those of wealth will crowd Utah's southern highways leading to the parks, and it is safe to say that all records will be broken. |
