Nov 18, 2008 (York Daily Record - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- WYN | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- York County tourism could get a $1 million boost from President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration Jan. 20, even though the county is about 90 miles away from the action.

The York County Convention and Visitors Bureau has been fielding calls from as far away as Texas from people looking for a place to stay when they go to the inauguration.

Alison Smith, public relations coordinator for the bureau, said a Houston resident recently called looking for a hotel.

"That kind of put our antennas up," she said.

The county contacted Destination DC, which is handling travel information for the inauguration.

"They've started referring leads to us, which tells us everything is full," Smith said.

A family from Dallas wanted to be able to put 50 people in the same hotel. They could only find a few rooms scattered in the D.C. area, but York County gave them more options, Smith said.

The bureau sent an e-mail to its lodging partners and found that many chain hotels were already booked, she said.

Cindi Wycheck, sales director at the Wingate by Wyndham in Manchester Township, said the hotel is more than half-booked for the inauguration.
