Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment he has made of the benefits to (a) tourism and (b) the economy following the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
Tourism is a devolved matter, so we have not made a specific assessment. However a lot of work is being done to promote the Commonwealth Games. VisitBritain are working with Glasgow City Marketing Bureau and VisitScotland to operate two media centres in Glasgow – the Main Press Centre and the Destination Media Hub. VisitBritain has also been working with the FCO to fully engage international media.
