The county of Norfolk is expected to witness sharp rise in visitor numbers as a result of the 2012 Olympic Games.
Speaking to the Norwich Eastern Daily Press, Norfolk Tourism team manager Lydia Smith predicted that more people may choose to stay in Norfolk holiday cottages as a result of the sporting event.
The Norfolk Broads were recently included in a list of 1,000 reasons to take breaks in the UK to mark 1,000 days until London hosts the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Ms Smith explained there is a "fabulous selection of places to visit and things to do" for those on holidays in Norfolk and reported that a foreign journalist visiting the county had "been very enthusiastic and positive" about it as a destination.
The Norfolk and Suffolk Broads is the largest protected wetland in Britain and has national park status, offering visitors the chance to see rare plants and animals, as well as take boating trips.
