I personally really enjoy watching the Olympic games, so I am really looking forward to this year's Olympics in London. Unexpectedly, close to 25% of people living in Londan, say they will leave to avoid the games and are actively making travel plans so they can leave London before the opening of the games. The report states that approximately 10 million people will depart before the games and 4 million of them will leave within the 5 day period prior to the games beginning. Even though there will be about 500,000 overseas tourists visiting London at the same time, there will be 1.3 million people in the London area along, leaving. The main reason for residents leaving, is to avoid the tourists, as well as the non-stop reporting on the games. It seems like they much prefer watching soccer games.
