East London is the capital`s fastest growing visitor destination. In 2012 the eyes of the world will be focused on Hackney during the Olympic and Paralympic games in the east of the borough. The increase in visitor numbers expected as a result of the games is a major opportunity for the hospitality sector in the borough.
