With less than 1,000 days until the start of the 2012 Olympics in London, excitement is already growing over what will be a huge boost for the local visitor economy. To mark the occasion, Visit London has released a report outlining how visitors to the capital will benefit from £11 billion in investment over the coming years. The improvements are already starting to take shape, including the East London Line railway extension, new cycle tracks and walkways, the renovation of the Savoy Hotel and a new urban park being built in East London. In Spring 2011 the Cutty Sark will be reopened after being damaged by fire in 2007 and a new wing of the Tate Modern will be opened in time for the start of the Olympics. These are new and exciting times for such an historic and fascinating city such as London and I’m keen to see how these new developments will improve an already amazing city!

According to Chantal Pitin, head of leisure traffic development at Toulouse-Blagnac Airport, more and more people are experiencing skiing in Toulouse with surprising results. As a result of tourists flying into Toulouse, tourism in the area has had a welcome boost. Apparently skiing in the Pyrenees is ‘enjoyable’ and is suitable for everyone, especially as the resorts tend to be small family resorts. I have to admit that although I have been to Toulouse before, I had never thought of it as a ski resort. But I suppose the mixture of sun and snow would be a perfect combination! Although whether it rivals the ski resorts of the Alps remains to be seen…..

Historically the Greek Islands have always been popular with Britons holidaying abroad, and this trend doesn’t look like changing. According to Sofia Panayiotaki, director of the UK and Ireland branch of the Greek National Tourism Organisation, beautiful landscapes, friendly people and competitive prices are drawing people back every year. Brits make up 20 percent of the Greek tourism market, with in total 60 to 70 million holidaymakers visiting Greece every year. There are also many holidaymakers from France, Italy, Germany and the US. Although Britons usually visit the Greek Islands of Crete, Rhodes and Corfu, due to the impact of the film Mamma Mia, more are now visiting the island of Skopelos where it was filmed. There are also more Britons taking city breaks in Greece than ever before. And hopefully these trends will continue!

If you are a lover of history and art, then I’m sure you would want to snap up the chance to buy an historic piece of Paris. On December 14th several pieces will be for sale at auction including stairs from the Eiffel Tower and street lights from the Champs Elysees. These pieces will form part of the Paris Mon Amour (Paris my love) sale to celebrate 120 years of the Eiffel Tower and ‘pay homage to Paris’, according to auctioneer Christophe Lucien. Forty steps of the Eiffel Tower staircase are expected to reach between 60,000 and 80,000 euros, while an oak public phone box is estimated at 1,000 euros. There’s also the opportunity to buy old rubbish bins, street benches, 18^th century tourist maps of Paris and ancient books. Basically there’s something for everyone and I would love to have some of this stuff in my house or garden!

Last Thursday, 65 pieces of antique china from the Chinese Empire went on show at the Ceramics Museum in Barcelona. Now you may all be wondering why this is so exciting…. Well, not only is this the first time that the pieces have been shown in Spain but it is also the first time that they have been exhibited outside Japan. Therefore I’m sure many people will be flocking to Spain to see them. Whilst the pieces were in Japan, there was an earthquake which caused considerable damage to one of the pieces but thankfully the others were left unscathed and in excellent condition. The exhibition is called “Elegancia y minimalismo. Porcelana imperial china de las colecciones Baur de Ginebra” and includes pieces such as teacups, jugs, vases and pots to clean paint brushes in. According to the chief curator of the Barcelona Ceramics Museum, Toni Casanovas, and Monique Crick, director of the Baur-Museum of Far Eastern Art in Geneva, the exhibition shows how “porcelain objects are just as important as paintings and sculptures” to the chinese. The pieces were collected by Swiss merchant Alfred Baur between 1907 and 1947 and the exhibition runs until January 31^st.
