Special “Olympic visas” for entry to Great Britain in 2012 will not be issued.

Itar-tass.com reports that Jeremy Hunt, UK Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport, introduced a new program in London on attracting tourists to the United Kingdom in the Olympic year. The government faces the issue of increasing the number of tourists in 2012 by 4 mln people.

Olympic Games in London will kick off on July 27 and close on August 12. London is the first city to host the Olympics for the third time after 1908 and 1948.
