Cameron forecasts £13 billion bonanza from London Olympics | | Britain Prime Minister David Cameron has predicted that the London Olympics could give a 13 billion pound boost
to the country. Cameron aims to attract new trade by using the event as a showcase
for UK business and tourism, The Sun reports. He will unveil plans this week for
a series of summits to ensure that the country's firms cash in. He hopes they
will help secure deals worth more than one billion pounds and make economic growth
the Olympics legacy. Up to 4.5 million extra visitors will flock to Britain after
the Games, pumping 2.3 billion pounds into the country. And 10 billion pounds
in extra business is predicted in the next four years. Cameron will say in a keynote
speech: "The challenge is to make sure we turn these Games into gold to secure
an economic boost that more than pays for the cost of putting them on". "That's
my mission for London 2012. Drumming up business for Britain . Selling Britain
to the world," he added. |
