Beijing will build 110 star hotels to cope with the demand for accommodation
during the 2008 Olympic Games.
"The planned 110 hotels will range from
one star to five stars, with a majority of them targeting high-end guests," Du
Jiang, director of Beijing Tourism Bureau, said at a seminar on economy hotels
on last Friday.
Although there is a great demand for economy hotels in
Beijing, the trend is to develop high-end hotels, Du acknowledged.
During
the 2008 Olympic Games, most guests will be accommodated in Beijing hotels, Du
said. "But the hotels in neighboring Hebei Province, which are about 100
kilometers away from Beijing, will be on stand-by."
According to the official, there are 56 hotels,
including 8 four or five stars hotels, within 100 kilometers of
Beijing.
By 2007, the number of star hotels in Beijing is expected to
reach 800, providing approximately 130,000 rooms,
Beijing's Vice Mayor Zhang Mao said at the seminar.
According to an estimate,
about 250,000 foreign tourists, regular tourists and Games viewers will make
Beijing hotels accommodate 550,000 people per day during the 2008 Olympic
Games.
Currently, Beijing has 658 star hotels with a total of 109,000
rooms.
