Sydney still reaping benefits of hosting Olympic Games 2000
"The continued use of these venues means the economic benefits of the Games are still being enjoyed, with the Sydney Olympic Park annually generating well in excess of AUD 1 billion in economic activity for the host state, New South Wales. As a whole, the Games are estimated to have brought about a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) uplift of between AUD 6-7 billion (USD 4.8-5.3 billion), creating over 100,000 new jobs and boosting the number of tourists by approximately 1.6 million per year."
