Gold medals = more tourists four years later? Really?

August 19, 2008

...production, enews, meetings...

I'm not sure that Olympic successes will boost domestic tourism gains in 2012. Are you?

...more production, meetings, lunch, meetings...

Let's be realistic: it probably won't affect anyone's holiday plans in four years' time.

...invititation to a conference, more meetings...

I bet the BBC are looking forward to big viewing figures though.

...meeting about the conference I'm now attending...

Oh. Six o'clock already?

Martin:

Team GB's success in China will have a positive impact on London 2012 - people (who are interested in the Olympics) will be looking forward to more successes, the new Olympic park and sports facilities will probably attract visitors, thousands of volunteers will be coming into London to help out with the games etc.

Medals success in 2008 = lots of positive media coverage = a buzz around what can be achieved in London (plus more cash for sports development)which will hopefully = boost for domestic tourism.
