So really, while 100K to meet with British tourism execs in one of the world's most expensive cities during one of the busiest events in the world might seam like a lot, the potential ROI far out weighs the minor cost. |
I think you're missing the point. I think they should be there. However, I thought they would have got the message about going full "Oda" while on government trips.
Having said that, I do support them going there.
