Arguably, the real, original fun of the Edinburgh Fringe lies in spontaneity. Picture this: while wandering aimlessly down the Royal Mile you are accosted by a man in 16th century period dress pointing you towards his comedy on Sir Walter Raleigh at the underbelly, on the way you are given a leaflet to go to a silent movie atop Carlton Hill, live, and complete with a 22 peace orchestra. You couldn’t make it up.
The City of Edinburgh is increasingly well known for being both a financial institution and a global tourism hotspot. These industries have continued to see growth despite the ‘credit crunch’.
Edinburgh continues to be considered a key centre for financial growth and has proven to be an ideal city for a business to develop, both on the high street, with up and coming chains such as Urban Outfitters opening up alongside old favourites like Primark, and in the business sector - the headquarters of Tesco Personal Finance, attracted to the Nation’s Capital, recently relocated to Haymarket, creating two hundred jobs.
During 2009 the Edinburgh Festival Fringe ticket sales hit a record high of more than 1.85m tickets sold for the event; a sales increase of 9% from the previous year. The reason for
this surge in sales is because many people decided to holiday in the UK rather than going on holidays abroad due to the recession. For many 2009 was the best
festival in 20 years.
