The Olympics will harm tourism

One of the big arguments for hosting the 2012 Games is that it will bring loads of tourists to Britain.
But now there's a report that the travel industry think it will actually bring tourism down by scaring off normal tourists. As happened when some footballing shenanigans was held in Germany.

So one kind of tourist scares off another. And the Olympics crowd won't be the kind who'll bring cash to Britain's theatres and opera houses.
