I hear what you’re saying about the PR, but do you think it will actually have any impact after the event? Will anyone say, “Wow, the G-20 was in Pittsburgh. Let’s go their for our vacation.” I guess it could increase the chances of hosting symposiums or meetings, although those things are usually centered around the locations of the businesses dealing with the topics of discussion, or for commercial business, someplace that is a nice vacation spot.
