"They think it's all over..."


With the 2012 Olympics racing towards us, we have shown the general fear of the proverbial "damp squib" anticipated by those within the tourism industry, the Olympic committees and even the general public, so it makes a nice change to bring some positivity on the subject for a change...

VisitBritain, Visit London, the European Tour Operators Association (ETOA) and UKinbound have agreed to set up a joint working party to develop a strategy that will encourage visits to Britain and London throughout 2012 and beyond as London hosts the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games....

Visit London’s director of communications, Ken Kelling, said: “London has so much to offer sports fans and non-sports fans alike and visitors are well used to travelling to and from the city for business or pleasure. We are expecting the atmosphere to be amazing during 2012 and no-one will want to miss out. Now’s the right time to be getting the message out as the travel trade starts to think about “brochuring” for the next few years..."

So, after a period of "They think it's all over" it would hopefully seem that the answer is "Not yet...."

Good luck to all involved, and follow this at http://www.traveldailynews.com/pages/show_page/34199--Industry-comes-together-to-maximise-tourism-opportunity-form-the-2012-Games
