ARIZONA'S recession-ravaged tourism industry is nervously bracing for more
economic woes amid mounting calls to boycott the southwestern border state
after the passage of its tough new immigration law.

Hoteliers across Arizona have begun to report a wave of canceled
reservations in the wake of Governor Jan Brewer's signing of a law Friday
which critics say will open the door to racial profiling by police.
Politicians in Arizona called on businesses to boycott doing business with
the state until the law is revoked, a stance mirrored on Tuesday by city
lawmakers in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Boycott supporters are hoping to emulate the success of the campaign which
sprang up after Arizona rescinded Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a public
holiday in 1987, leading to the cancellation of conventions worth millions
of dollars.
"We are calling on organizations not to schedule conventions or
conferences in the state until it reverses this decision," said Democratic
congressman Raul Grijalva in a statement.
"This is a specifically-targeted call for action, not a blanket rejection
of the state economy. Conventions are a large source of visitors and
revenue, and targeting them is the most effective way to make this point,"
Grijalva added.
The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) was one of the first
groups to heed the boycott call, transferring the association's 2010
autumn conference scheduled for Arizona to another state.
