Olympic Games 2012

London is normally a very busy city, but for two months this summer it will be the busiest it has ever been. The reason? The Olympic Games 2012. Every two years the Games are held by a country chosen by a committee. And this time, it is London`s chance to show how to plan a “party” in English style.

Years of building, planning, rearranging and all the things have finally paid off. The stadium in Stratford is nearly ready to go, a massive shopping centre has been built by it side to better cater for the thousands and thousands of tourists coming into the city and posters are being put up on every tube station informing about routes and closures to those coming to watch the best players and athletes achieving high scores and breaking their own records.

So, in July, the atmosphere in here will feel electric, exciting, amazing and… crowded. With the amount of people expected to land in here for the games, the main concern now is how London, already so full, will accommodate everybody. The answer is still hanging in the air, the authorities trying to figure out a plan to help minimize the effect this human flood will have in the town and its day by day life.

But not everything is bad news. Jobs in the catering front are blossoming by the day, so are positions in translation agency and hospitality roles. People are also being hired to work in the games site on security, logistic, information services and so on to assist visitors ensuring they will have the best experience possible.

Another business opportunity that is growing is lodging. Due to hotels being already fully booked for the period, home owners are starting to realize that they possess a great source of income in their houses, where they can easily rent a room for as much as a thousand pounds and benefit from all the fuss that the Olympic Games are bringing to England.

Therefore, if you are a tourist coming to cheer for your country or if you reside in here, all you have to do is try your best and enjoy as much as you can this once in a life time event.
