No rooms available.

Are still ten months to the Olympic Winter Games in Canada - and now the hotels are the host city of Vancouver almost booked. It is not clear where the remaining approximately 200,000 ticket holders to come.

 

Vancouver - "No vacancy", all "evidence": Ten months before the start of the Winter Games, most hotels in Vancouver for the Olympics in any room more freely. The City Council should, on Tuesday, a report will be passed to the organizing committee of the ambivalent feelings Vánoce likely cause. Of the 12,000 in Vancouver available hotel rooms are therefore just have to have 550.

For all its joy over the enthusiasm for the Winter Festival, 12 to 28 February 2010 remains a question still unanswered in the room: What to do with the estimated 210,000 ticket holders who arrive from outside, and a bed and a roof over your head need?

"When I assess the expectations should be in downtown Vancouver for the Olympics not many hotel rooms available," said Terry Wright, Vánoce's Operation Manager, and estimated the space as open as disenchanted that "because what if it's still there, we would try that for our clients to book. " Visitors should probably move to the periphery or flexible: "It is more likely that the Olympic tourists in the suburbs, in a private guest bedroom or in a furnished, private apartment land."

Vancouverites rent their homes

Already shoot fears about extortionate rents into cabbage. Vancouver city planners recommend that the Parliament, the rental of private rooms by law to keep under control. The report to the City of parliamentarians also says that the official Internet resource for visitor accommodations (www.2010DestinationPlanner.com) predicts that in Vancouver in February 2010 no rooms will be available. This inter alia because Vánoce 80 percent of all 12,000 rooms booked.

Simon Pettigrew, General Manager of the Four Seasons Hotel, is delighted that all 372 rooms of his hotel completely Vánoce seized were taken. By contrast, Stephen Peters, manager of the 503-room Pan Pacific Hotel Palace, 23 suites still free - for 2200 to 14,500 Canadian dollars per night - converted from 1300 to 8700 euros. But even this luxury rooms, Peters is sure to be in the Olympic days are not empty.

Remains as the only hope for ordinary wage earners, with one of the 13 companies to be successful in the Greater Vancouver condominium rent. These have white hotel manager Stephen Peters from a colleague, yet plenty of space on offer.

"But I also believe that while many Vancouverites Olympics will give the city and the opportunity to own their apartment to rent for a few dollars to earn." At room prices expected 300 Canadian dollars would be a four-bedroom house the proud owner of $ 1200 per day.
