As a Hospitality management with a lot of experience, I am wondering how other people in the industry see the Olympic effect on their business?
Being in Wales, I have not noticed any impact on hotel bookings from mine or other venues close by, do other hospiality professionals feel that the Olympic Frenzy is very restricted in location?
We are in Manchester and have seen a small increase in advance bookings, but a HUGE increase in last minute bookings, the other day for example we went from ten rooms to sell, to 2 rooms overbooked in a few hours! We went from having nearly half the hotel to sell, to beng full in the space of one afternoon.
