  • but there's nothing in Ilford!
    It's just a grotty town that happens to be a few miles from the Olympic site!

    seems to be a list of places that are growing as tourist destinations, rather ones that are already great tourist destinations.

    Well it is statistcal spin isn't it, as this is Trip Advisor search data for places that wern't much sought after last year and are this year. There are always reasons...
    Ilford... People searching for somewhere cheap to stay for the Olympics or whilst helping to prepare for Olympics
    Salford - where the is BBC moving to
    Yalta - going to be swarming with football fans next summer
    etc
    Can't think of a reason for Hounslow - maybe a couple of new hotels serving Heathrow?
