Following the announcement that Glasgow has been successful in its bid to host the Commonwealth Games in 2014, VisitBritain chief executive Tom Wright, comments:
"We're are delighted that Glasgow has been chosen to host the 2014 Commonwealth Games. It is a fantastic opportunity to showcase the city to a global audience of over 1 billion people and we applaud the hard work that has gone into making this possible. Glasgow is the fifth most popular destination in Britain for international travellers and we look forward to seeing the additional benefit their success today will bring."
He adds: "Given Glasgow's long history of successfully staging major sporting and cultural events, VisitBritain is convinced that Games organisers picked the right destination. With a great vision for the Games, the spirit of Glasgow and Glaswegians - with all of Scotland and Britain behind them - is sure to make this an unforgettable event."
