They will also be the very best to spread the word on what a great tourist destination Sydney is being that they are here for a happy occasion and good time and will probably have it ,and the many thousands will go home as unpaid PR's for Sydney. Plus the world-wide media spotlight on the Pope. My only beef is with the Iemma government trying frighten everyone as they did with the APEC rubbish which scared the living daylights out of the few tourists in town at the time. Disclosure-non-Catholic.
