The British Hospitality Association (BHA) has hit back at suggestions that the London 2012 Olympics could lead to a drop in visitor numbers to the city and harm Britain’s recovery from recession.
The BHA has argues that the benefits of holding the Games in London will far outweigh the costs.
Ufi Ibrahim, chief executive of the BHA, said: “The Games will give us the opportunity to showcase what British companies can achieve in providing top-class facilities and they will leave a long-lasting legacy.
“Competitors and visitors alike will leave knowing that the British welcome surpasses that of any other Olympic destination.
“Opening up new visitor markets is precisely what the UK wants. I’m sure they will gain a highly favourable impression of Britain during their visit which will encourage them to return. This will be one of the most important parts of the Games’ legacy.”
