With the construction work for the London Olympics said to be
on time and under budget, Mint Hotel look forward to the biggest
international sporting event coming to the UK for the first time in 64
years.
Following the news from the Olympic Delivery Authority that the building work on the
Olympic Park, the London 2012 Olympic site is not only running on time, but is also
costing less than anticipated, award-winning city centre hotel specialists, Mint
Hotel, explain why this is just so important for not
just the Olympics, but also for London.
A spokesperson for Mint Hotel says: “The figures released by the ODA make for really
very interesting reading, as they reveal that the anticipated final cost of the
creation of the ODA's ongoing construction programme has come to just £7.25
billion, which is £16 million reduction on the previous quarter. While this sounds
like a lot of money, what really makes this news very exciting is that this figure
means that the entire programme is expected to come in at around £850 million less
than expected, and what's more, the construction work on the Olympic Park itself is
88% complete, with just one year to go until the start of the games, which is just
fantastic news.”
The London Olympic Games, which are due to begin on the 27th of July next year, have
understandably garnered international attention, and the capital is expecting
millions of people from around London and around the world to descend onto the
Olympic Park to see the world's best athletes and other sporting professionals
compete. With so many people set to travel to the Olympics in 2012, Mint Hotel are
expecting more interest and a lot more bookings for in hotels in London, and other parts of the UK.
The spokesperson for Mint Hotel continues: “The Olympics are, of course, a major
international event and a highlight of the sporting calendar, and 2012 marks the
first time that the UK has hosted the games since 1948, and we've found that we've
had a much higher number of enquiries for booking rooms in our hotels in London,
compared to last year. While the Olympics will undoubtedly put London on the map as
a prime holiday location, they will also open up the rest of the UK to travellers
and holidaymakers. Here at Mint Hotel, we've found that all our other hotels in the
UK have also benefited from the Olympics, such as our hotels in Glasgow and Manchester, which have already had
more booking for rooms during the summer than they did during the same time in
2011.”
