For Usain Bolt, the 2012 Summer Olympics means winning two more gold medals and becoming the first runner to win Olympic gold in the 100- and 200-meter sprints in consecutive Olympics. The Olympics are also an opportunity for anyone who wasn’t already a fan to fall in love with Bolt’s outgoing personality. Bolt’s celebrated Olympic success also provided Twitter a chance to “bolt” into new territory, with more than 80,000 tweets per minute (TPM) sent when Bolt won gold. Likewise, the Jamaican Minister of Tourism is betting that Jamaican timeshares, hotels, and vacation resorts will be reaping rewards from Bolt’s historic achievement as well.
And why not, you have to think if Bolt is representative of the warmth and friendliness of the Jamaican people, the Caribbean Island destination is bound to be a delightful place to plan a beachside vacation. Minister of Tourism Wykeham McNeill believes Bolt’s success elevates him to the same type of iconic status as that of Jamaica’s late Bob Marley. Explains McNeill, “The impact of his sprinting will have an effect on the island for many years to come and will help Jamaica attract more and more sports travel tourists. The interest that has already been created by our sprint legends throughout the years has now come to a crescendo with Usain Bolt’s unique defence of the titles.”
