While the 2012 Olympics may not significantly impact the UK hotel refurbishment market, it could impact the overall hotel market. Studies show a range of possible tourism outcomes from the Olympics, from a £161M boost to London tourism to a projected drop in international visitors between 2009 and 2012. Reports also warn that fears of overcrowding, high prices, and poor accommodation could deter visitors without sufficient and reasonably priced hotel capacity. The UK government has committed to improving hotel quality and increasing the number of accredited hotels in preparation for 2012. Past Olympics, like Barcelona in 1992, were found to provide a long-term tourism legacy through increased visitor numbers in subsequent years.
