Interesting comments in the Yorkshire Post from the head of the Yorkshire Tourist Board re the 'Bollywood' event coming to Yorkshire next year.
"As Judith Donovan, chairman of Yorkshire Tourist Board, says: "It's a four-day event, giving a four weeks' buzz and a four-year business legacy." It has been estimated that GBP10m will be added to the region's economy from tourism alone over the four days, and Mrs Donovan, who said direct flights from India to the region's airports could be introduced in time for the awards, believes that figure will increase to GBP20m per year over the two years following the awards as a direct result of the event."
...wishful thinking on her part or informed speculation re Swefly I wonder? (no guarantee of course that LBA would be the airport the flights would operate from if they did happen)
