UT State Tourism Site Features 2 Gutted/Non-Existent Nat. Monuments, Content-Free Links To Remnants
EDIT
Now almost eight months since the president killed them, Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments are still featured on the state’s official tourism website, VisitUtah.com, under “most popular parks.”
If you really poke around VisitUtah.com using the search function, you can find pages, with virtually no information, on Shash Jáa National Monument and Indian Creek National Monument. What are those, you ask? They are the two smaller monuments Trump created to replace Bears Ears. State tourism officials hurriedly put up the pages when the new monuments were announced, but nothing has been added since.
And it’s no wonder the state continues to promote Bears Ears instead of Shash Jáa. All one has to do is look at Google. Bears Ears National Monument is a regularly used search term, while Shash Jáa National Monument is almost never searched. If you are an outfitter or hotel or any other tourism-related business in San Juan County, your business would wither if you promoted Shash Jáa over Bears Ears on your website or social media.
All of this is just a continuation of the monumental blunder the whole anti-Bears Ears campaign has been. Utah is still promoting on its website what the people behind the Outdoor Retailer convention wanted it to promote — the Bears Ears National Monument — but only after Utah politicians chased away the lucrative convention because they didn’t want to acknowledge a Bears Ears monument.
