The ongoing oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico may actually be helping
tourism in Austin, Texas. There are reports that area hotel room
sales are up eight-percent from last year. Texas tourism officials
report record business around the state's coastal areas and lakes.
Vacationers are apparently choosing places like Lake Travis near
Austin, rather than risking Gulf state beaches impacted by the worst
environmental disaster in U.S. history.
