Tens of thousands of tourists could find themselves without a bed in Beijing
when the city hosts the 2008 summer Olympics, state media reported.
The
Chinese capital would be around 2.2 million hotel beds short of projected demand
during the entire Games, Xinhua news agency said.
To fill the gap, a
tourism promotion conference would be held next April to attract international
hotels and travel agencies to improve and expand accommodation, it said. "They
could help to improve the services and the manage-ment of mid- and small-sized
hotels in Beijing," an official with the Beijing tourism bureau
said.
