Hosting the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Scotland would provide a further opportunity to demonstrate to the world our ability to stage major sporting events. It will also allow those visiting Glasgow and the rest of Scotland, as well as those watching on television, the chance to see our beautiful country and the many assets it has to offer, be it to visit as a holiday destination; a venue for staging major events; a location for businesses and investors; or a place to live, work and study.
