San Diego tourism leaders and hoteliers fear they could lose a sizable chunk of business this summer from valued Zonies who are so angered by elected leaders recent censure of Arizona for its illegal-immigration law that theyre mounting an informal boycott of their own.
The San Diego Convention & Visitors Bureau and several hotels report receiving e-mails and letters from Arizona visitors saying they intend to change their plans to travel here in light of local outcry over their home states anti-illegal-immigration stance.

I am not going to CA and I will boycott CA wine, and I am not even from AZ.
I wuz trying to figure out where all the ‘zonians were planning to go in SD. I can see hunting, visits to Mount Rushmore and skiing in the BH. Now I learn it wuz all about going to Tijuana.
Sometimes but when I boycott "Best Buy", how do they cut me back?
Guess that Best Buy won’t be buying anything from you either :)
good.
Classic liberal thinking, not thinking through the pros (and cons) of their actions. Since everything is so “feel good” and “PC”, negative ramifications are never considered. Good for the people of Arizona.
Why boycott CA wine. Much of is made here in Central CA and we have nothing to do with LA or SF.
We can go to the O.C. instead.
INSTEAD of telling their local politicians how childish and stupid they look...??
Who is running the asylum in the Pipple's Republik...??
Since the government of San Diego is “of, by and for the people”, there is no misunderstanding here. AZ residents know what they are doing.
I boycotted Circuit City. They’re gone.
SOooo the SD Convention and Visitors Bureau emails the BOYCOTTING TRAVELERS....
—Asking THEM TO IGNORE the petty actions of their city council and government resolution...
— And come to SD anyway...???

Sounds like San Diego CVB values the rights of Illegal Aliens over the rights of American citizens.....the CVB should be after their own local government....and not blaming Arizona
Arizona stick to your guns....America is behind you. Only a few cities that like Illegals more than Americans will think of a boycott
The wife likes a few Kali wines, but no more. A few Australian ones are good, too. We’re boycotting Kali.
May I suggest this wording:
“Dear Arizona friends,
We understand and share your outrage over the City Council’s participation in the widespread effort to strangle business in your state. We are not part of this, however. We are a free enterprise business while the boycott is the work of the communist occupation authorities (aka “liberal officials”) and their lackeys in the ministry of propaganda (aka “mainstream media”). We urge you to re-consider your position and support the remaining entrepreneurs who attempt to make a living under the weight of this occupation.”
Unintended Consequences.
I canceled trip for 6 to Los Angeles. It was a board meeting. We are going to Vegas.
During the summer, SD’s freeways are filled with AZ plates. If AZ can make this stick, it will hurt SD.
“I boycotted Circuit City. Theyre gone.”
Wow, that was you? Damn!
Yep! My parents live at Sun City Grand, AZ and they told me the two places retirees like to ‘tool around’ is Vegas and San Diego. Apparently, retirees are literally holding meetings at clubhouses around Phoenix to boycott traveling to cities boycotting AZ!
