Fed: Rugby World Cup fails to bring influc of fans to ACT
The upcoming rugby World Cup has failed to attract an expected influx of internationalvisitors to the national capital.
The Australian Hotels Association's ALAN BURROWS says accommodation set aside for fanshas been cancelled because of the small number of international supporters planning totravelling to Canberra for the four cup matches in October.
He's told ABC radio that local hotels had expected to be booked out as they were twoyears ago when the British Lions played the Wallabies in Canberra.
Mr BURROWS says the hotels are now focusing on Sydney and the regional market.
Italy, Tonga, Wales and Canada play world cup matches in Canberra in October.
