The
2008 Olympic Games - Beijing Hotels Rooms
Accommodation
There are many challenges that any
Olympic hosting country must take on and the same
is true of China and the hosting of the 2008 Olympic
Games. There is much development and construction
and there will be many changes to be faced.
One of those is the accommodation
in Beijing for the 10,000+ athletes, 20,000+ media
and maybe 200,000 officiating personell. And not to
mention the millions of spectators who plan to see
this glorious event from both China and from overseas.
So many want to be able to witness and participate
in the aura of excellence, the strife of competition
and also the peripheral events and welcomes prepared
by the Chinese hosts.
With this pressures on accommodation
and hotel rooms, the activity over the last five years
has been immense. Goals were set and these are well
towards being achieved at this stage.
Athletes and Media Accommodation
For athletes, there will be some 12,000
apartments furnished. Another 10,000 apartment units
will be developed for the media as well. All of these
are being built by private developers who will then
offer the housing units as condominiums after the
games have finished.
For the Olympic Games 2008
But, that is not all that needs to
be considered. In 2000, Beijing was able to attract
and maintain a total of over 70 million visitors both
domestic and international within their city. Can
you envisage the increase on this figure who will
visit Beijing during 2008?
For 2008 there will be over 130,000
Beijing hotel rooms in hotels which have been officially
rated. In addition there will be very many private
accommodation rooms available to rent, plus hostels,
apartments, etc.
Because of the size of the city, there
are plans to utilize much of this housing for increased
tourism in the years to come. Like in other Olympic
host cities, Beijing expects to see a large rise in
tourism after the games are over. Therefore, these
hotels and rooms will be put to good use. Demands
for quality housing are always around and the condominiums
will make good use of this as well.
