All states have to expect the occasional PR kerfuffle and be prepared forthe nightmare of a natural disaster. But as the current scenario inArizona is demonstrating, a serious political controversy can threaten tobe as devastating to a state's tourism industry as the wrath of MotherNature.

As most are very aware by now, Arizona's passage in late April of animmigration law (Senate Bill 1070) has set off a major controversy that isresulting in a backlash affecting tourism and other state revenue sources.

The measure originally required state and local police to verify theimmigration status of all individuals for whom there could be "reasonablesuspicion" of lack of legal documentation. The law's language wassubsequently changed to require such verification only for individualswhom the police had previously stopped, detained or arrested for otherreasons; however, that has not quelled the proverbial political firestormthat was ignited.

The law has triggered threatened and actual boycotts or curtailments ofbusiness activities with Arizona by various other U.S. city governments(Los Angeles and Boston, for example), including cancellations of eventsin the state and a stop on governmental travel there. There have beencalls for boycotts by numerous Democratic U.S. Congressionalrepresentatives, as well as numerous grassroots boycott calls on the Weband social media, and protests from powerful organizations such as theAmerican Civil Liberties Union. (Not to mention President Obama'sinstruction to the Justice Department to review the constitutionality ofthe state's new law.)

And in perhaps the unkindest cut of all, the heavily Republican staterecently lost its bid for the 2012 Republican National Convention toFlorida.

The actual damage to Arizona tourism -- which had already suffered duringthe recession (losses of $2 billion in visitor spending and $167 millionin state/local tax revenue between 2007 and 2009, according to a GreaterPhoenix Convention and Visitor Bureau study of state tourism -- isimpossible to assess accurately at this stage.
