ROAD TOWN, British Virgin Is- lands — Almost 3,000 miles away, tucked in the northernmost corner of the Caribbean, lies a tropical par- adise that has managed to remain fairly untouched. In the British Virgin Islands, you will find no fast-food restaurant chains, no shopping malls and no multilane highways overrun by hours of traffic — but that does not mean the island is not experiencing increased development. In the past few years, the coun- try has seen a 10-percent increase in tourism from not only other Ca- ribbean islands, but Europe and Asia as well. This has highlighted the need for the government to re- think its approach to tourism. “What we have done in the last few years is that we have gone back to focusing more on the niche marketing side of tourism,” said Lynette Harrigan, marketing man- ager for the British Virgin Islands Tourist Board, the country’s tour- ism agency. Harrigan said that instead of trying to attract as many people as possible to the country, it now tries to appeal to a specific clien- Above, a woman walks home with her groceries in the early morning in Road Town, the capital of the British Virgin Islands.

gallery viewpoint Make Texas relevant

“We love you Obama!” “I love you back,” our nation’s president replied to thousands of euphoric UT students from across the state. And, much to the cha- grin of Texas’ long-ruling Republican Party, lots of Texans do love Barack Obama. In fact, more than 43 percent of them voted for him in the 2008 presidential election. What’s more, the state’s fastest-growing vot- ing bloc is Hispanics, and Hispanic voter turnout increased by 31 percent between the 2000 and 2008 elections. The demographic tra- ditionally leans toward Democrats, an affiliation that should only grow stronger given the past year’s contentious immigration con- troversies that placed many Republicans at odds with the Hispanic political establishment. Additionally, polling consistently shows one of the most important issues for Latinos voters is education — coin- cidentally, the topic of President Obama’s speech on Monday. It is undeniable that as voting demographics continue shifting, Texas will one day become a swing state, which is a positive devel- opment not just for Texas Democrats, but for all citizens of the Lone Star State. During national elections, candidates give more attention to swing states and their state-specific political issues than other “safe” states. For example, during the 2008 presidential election the Obama and John McCain campaigns each made two stops in Texas. In con- trast, the Obama campaign visited Florida 12 times and the McCa- in campaign took 11 trips to the Sunshine State. Likewise, the candi- dates raised more than $38 million in Texas in 2008 while spending less than $10 million. In Florida, they raised $34.7 million but spent $54.1 million. Florida has seven less electoral votes than Texas, a dis- parity projected to widen even further after new population totals from the 2010 census are taken into account. While it may upset Texas Republicans, if Texas and its 34 electoral votes are put into play in upcoming elections, then policy issues im- portant to Texans will take the front seat in the national debate. Texas’ slow shift to the center is not news to political strategists, but it may come sooner than many expect. While the Republican Party still has a hold on the state, Presi- Put aside the required reading dent Obama’s recent sprint through Texas and his warm reception from many Texans give witness to the strong blue core that has been slowly crystallizing within our red state.

Ter- raBurger, Wish Boutique and Sto- ryville have all been forced to shut down their campus locations be- cause of the bad business climate in the area, including the high rent, fluctuating number of cus- tomers and lack of parking. Over the years, the Drag has had a notorious revolving-door ef- fect on businesses, with many of them popping up to capitalize on the large student population but then quickly closing. One of the more noticeable testaments to this is Intellectual Property’s bright- ly painted vacant building sitting at 24th and Guadalupe streets. What has now become a usual lo- cation for loiterers was previously leased to the bookstore, Tower Re- cords and Varsity Theater at differ- ent times. “The price [of rent] was begin- ning to get five figures,” said Mi- chael Ludlow, general manag- er of TerraBurger, which closed May 31. “Usually you want rent to be 8 to 10 percent of sales, and we were looking at 25 per- cent.
