rudemedic Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Extra tourists. Unquantifiable long-term benefits. My arse. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2181313/Deserted-London-2012-Shops-theatres-businesses-visitor-levels-fall-THIRD-fears-Games-travel-chaos.html - The extra tourists doesn't surprise me having heard Athens had fewer tourists in 2004. Im a bit amazed that the bigwigs thought we were going to get that many more tourists in London at the height of tourist season. A few cities will get extra tourists as a result of the Olympics, but London is not one of them. If we really wanted extra tourists the games should have been held in September but that would have meant the Paralympics was in October which would not have been practical. It would have meant the games wouldn't have clashed with Ramadan too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
