i haven't but if it were not for the olympics i would not know that cities like Nagano, Lillehammer or Turin existed. Would the olympics make me wanna visit those cities? maybe, if i saw something about the city on tv i would like to see in person. For example, i would love to checkout the shoe lace stadium or the watercube in Beijing. I went to Sydney Australia last year to checkout the Opera House which was shown off alot on tv during the Sydney summer olympics.
I think once people see the natural scenery of Vancouver, people who havent heard of Vancouver may want to visit. I remember reading somewhere that when the Bachelorette tv show on ABC aired, it generated interest from tourists.
