Topics Covered in This Article:

.

1) London is breaking all records for foreign guests staying in hotels during the Games.

2) LOCOG is bringing more members of the Olympic Family to London than have ever attended in the past.

3)    London hotels have offered exceptional value for money.

4)    LOCOG has sold its allotment of hotel rooms extremely effectively.

5) Unlike any other Olympic city, London remains open for last minute business.

6)    London has more than enough space for visitors.

.

There is a misperception that London will be full in the early part of August. It is well known in the tourism industry that every Olympic Games scares away conventional tourists. Whatever the reality, potential visitors think that the destination will be crowded, overpriced and difficult to get around.

.

An Olympic city becomes a place devoted to an event which makes it different, and which has a different appeal. It is there for Olympic enthusiasts. This has had a profound effect on demand for London in 2012. In August we would normally expect 300,000 foreign and 800,000 domestic tourists to be in the capital every day. They are not expected to arrive.

.

Furthermore Transport for London has been assiduous at ensuring that as many Londoners as possible are working from home and only coming in to the capital if their work is absolutely necessary. If only 20% of the 3 million people who travel to work each day are persuaded not to travel, space for a further 600,000 passengers will be freed up.
