Tourism London, is the second partner this week to affiliate with the Velodrome. This is a unique partnership as we will be working together to bring recreational riders and racers to the London area to train on the track throughout the year. It is estimated that 15,000 family and friends of riders will come to London in the next 12 months. These visitors will shop, go to restaurants, stay over night, in general give a lift to the local economy. John Winston General Manager of London Tourism indicated that he and his staff are looking forward to introducing all the new visitors to our fine city.
