Honestly, I don't think the Olympic games attract that many tourists from overseas, aside from the athletes families and sporting/olympic officials. Tickets are expensive and hard to get, accomodation goes up during the games, who can afford it anymore? Apart from the opening ceremony most people probably don't watch it on TV either. Except for a couple of events, it's just not that exciting.
The previous Olympics had HUGE foreign turn out, that is one of the key attractions to them.

Its supposed to be a GLOBAL party, not just a PRC party.

However this will be the Chinese Olympics, for the Chinese and not for the rest of the world.
