Glasgow’s popularity for retail, leisure and tourism continues to expand and the addition of the new leisure facilities for the 2014 Commonwealth Games have all assisted in ensuring the continued vibrancy of the leisure sector in Glasgow. Glasgow has a student population of around 45,000 persons, contributing around £500 million a year to Glasgow’s economy.
