People searching for hotel and restaurant work have been given a boost by the news that Travelodge is going to expand its current UK-based business and invest in another ten sites around the country.

The budget hotel-giant will invest more than £60 million into the project that will make it the biggest hotel chain in London in time for the 2012 Olympic Games, which the city is hosting.

Paul Harvey, managing director for development, said: "During the recession we have taken the opportunity to grow where many have put their development on hold."

He added that in the last year the company managed to secure more hotels than any other year in its history and was able to get quality sites due to lower property prices.

In other news, Visit London recently released stats that predicted a total of £11 billion will be invested in London's tourism industry in the run-up to the Olympic Games.
