This is how it works in practise, first comes the appeal to 'civic
pride' then it's the 'needed' gentrification... a new roadway, new
airport, new subway... then its the stadiums and all they bring and
finally they float the idea that people when be coming to your city for
the next 20 years because of what they saw "Games".

So why aren't people rushing to Athens?

They "float" the idea, just like all the other merits never to be
achieved or at a huge cost overruns.


Besides, Paris is _already_ the number-one destination city for tourists
in the world. There's no rank higher than number one.

So you think the http://www.franceguide.com/prehome.asp should shut
down ? You think hoteliers don't want more tourists ?
