Millions more international visitors are expected, but analysts say that doesn’t necessarily mean big business. Xia Cheng has more.

All eyes will be on London in 2012, as the host city of the Olympic Games. And the verdict’s out on how sporting fever will translate to cold, hard cash.
2012年，所有的眼睛都将聚焦奥运会的主办城市，伦敦。发表的意见是关于体育狂热如何转化为冷酷、艰难的资金。

Visa predicts Britain will see a 750 million pound, or 1.2 billion U.S. dollar spending spree in the summer of 2012. Over three years, the effects of the Olympics are expected to stimulate the economy by billions more.
Visa预测， 2012年夏季英国将见证一个7.5亿英镑，约合12亿美元的消费热潮。过去三年，奥运会效应预计刺激数十亿的经济。

According to Visit Britain, the UK’s official tourism bureau, there’s never been a better time to take a holiday in the country.
据英国官方旅游局，英国旅游称，现在在英国度假比任何时候都好。

A visitor to Britain Mark Di-Toro said: "With the Olympics, World Pride, Diamond Jubilee, the Cultural Olympiad, which will see thousands of cultural and touristy events going on across Britain, you know there’s no better time to reach those targets that we’ve set ourselves...Thirty million international tourists come to Britain each year. The total spend is seventeen billion, it’s the fifth largest industry in the UK, it supports nearly three million jobs, so we’ve got some really good numbers here to build on.."
到英国旅游的一名游客Mark Di-Toro表示：“有了奥运会、世界自豪活动、钻石大庆、文化奥林匹亚，英国举行了数千个文化旅游活动，你知道的，没有更好的时间可以接触这些为我们自己设立的目标…每年，到英国的国际游客有3000万。总花费是170亿，它是英国第五大产业，它提供了近300万份工作，所以我们指望这里有一些好的数目。”

But some organizations warn, the Olympics and major events don’t necessarily increase tourism, let alone translate to business dollars.
但是一些组织提醒，奥运会和重大的活动不一定能增加旅游，更别说转化为美元。

Brett Taylor, chief executive of London Business Network said: "It’s expected that a lot of tourists who would not be coming to the games will see London as being too busy, the London transport system too crowded, the hotels will be unavailable and very expensive, the prices get hiked up and they believe that everything just gets too difficult. So you get this anticipated drop off of visitors into London before and after the games and a lot of that is not necessarily offset by the boost during games time."
伦敦商业网的首席执行官Brett Taylor表示：“据预计，很多不来看奥运会的游客会觉得伦敦太热闹，伦敦的交通系统太拥挤，很难订到酒店，而且价格昂贵，物价上涨，他们觉得一切都变得太艰难了。所以你可以预计奥运会之前和之后到伦敦的游客会下降，而且那些很多未必能抵消奥运会期间的增长。”

Some economists say, the biggest winners in the Olympics tend to be the construction industry, because of infrastructure improvements as well as the building of the Olympic sites.
一些经济学家称，由于基础设施的改善以及奥运场地的建设，建筑产业常常是奥运会最大的赢家。

Visit Britain is hoping this crowded social calendar will help deliver an extra four and a half million visitors over the next four years, spending an extra 2.4 billion pounds, or 3.7 billion US dollars, and creating an extra 60 thousand jobs by 2016.
英国旅游希望这个拥挤的社交日程表可以在未来四年额外带来450万游客，到2016年，额外消费24亿英镑，或37亿美元，而外创造份工作。

But analysts say, the economic gloom shrouding Europe and other regions worldwide means all the bullish outlook is potentially here to stay.
但是分析家表示，笼罩欧洲和世界其它地区的经济阴霾意味着所有的乐观展望有可能就此停住。
