Ashes Series is a money maker
By Cindy Ferguson
According to a especially made investigation done on Economic Impact Study exposed by Cricket Australia, last winter’s Ashes Series made available a £133m increase for the Australian economy and opened way to the formation of 793 new job openings.
For the event over 800,000 tickets were put up for sale, of which 813,000 were sold, for the Tests and the one-day competitions including roughly 37,000 vacationers traveling from overseas to witness the series.
Regardless of England's unfortunate presentation, the analysis illustrated that each tourist hung about for nearly a month and spent approximately £4,400. Fran Bailey, the countries Tourism Minister, received the report with great enthusiasm and stated the challenge now was to make the most of the financial profits from approaching series against Sri Lanka and India. She also mentioned that cricket supplied Australia with its strongest connection to India, and through their new tourism office in Mumbai and partnership with Cricket Australia their intention is to build up tourism for this upcoming summer.
James Sutherland, Cricket Association’s chief executive, strongly believes that the outcome of the report indeed proves that the sport is an excellent business opportunity for the nation and that the research shows the impact not only for Australia but for other countries as well. One of his goals currently is to use this information to help better the game and to satisfy the need of cricket fans to ensure continuous growth of the sport.
The Ashes Series was perhaps the most impatiently expected in history subsequent to England's win on homeland back in 2005, but it provided evidence to be a prejudiced concern as Australia accomplished a 5-0 victory.
