We don&#8217;t think Ebola will but we wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if EBOLA FEAR does. \u00a0The CDC has requested an interview with 132 passengers who flew on a flight with a nurse (that hasn&#8217;t tested positive) but who treated the Dallas Ebola patient who died. \u00a0This, combined with all the other media\u00a0(over) coverage that sinks into people&#8217;s minds could make people be less likely\u00a0to book trips right now.<\/p>\n<p>Even we have some business trips planned and aren&#8217;t that excited about hopping on a plane. \u00a0We wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if people postpone their early season trips and wait until Spring to see if this all blows over. \u00a0It&#8217;s not too hard to imagine a family in New Jersey not wanting to get\u00a0on a plane at Christmas time.<\/p>\n<p>About the only comparison we have is the SARS epidemic from 2003. \u00a0Air travel was down about 10 percent in the US.<\/p>\n<p>So, who really knows&#8230; but if things continue down this path, it will likely at least shift when visitors come this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We received a message from a citizen today asking whether we thought Ebola would impact Park City tourism.
