welcome, VisitBritainhas updated its advice for anyone likely to work with
travelers arriving from overseas—fromhotel staff to taxi drivers.

be bossy withvisitors from the Middle East.

“Giving our foreign visitors a friendly welcome is absolutely vital to our
economy,” said SandieDawe, chief executive officer of the agency. “With hundreds
of thousands of people thinking ofcoming to Britain in the Olympic and
Paralympic Games in 2012, this new advice is just one ofthe ways that
VisitBritain is helping the tourism industry care for their customers.”
VisitBritain 的执行总监桑迪·达维说： “热情接待外国游客对于我们的经济十分重要。 随着 2012 年伦敦奥运会和残奥会的举行，

About 30 million people visit Britain each year, spending about 16.6
billion pounds. The 2012Olympics is likely to bring in an additional 2.1 billion
in tourism revenue, according to agovernment estimate, and about 320,000 extra
visitors from overseas during the games in Julyand August 2012.

are honest andefficient—but not the most pleasant. Britain is ranked 14th out of
50 in the Anholt-GfK RoperNation Brands Index on the quality of welcome offered
to visitors, the tourism agency said.
