There are not enough traditional hotel rooms in the Lower Mainland (Vancouver & area) or the Sea to Sky Corridor (Whistler & area)! This is both a challenge and an opportunity.
There will be an estimated 26000 hotel rooms in 2010. VANOC has reserved 21000 of those. 5500 Olympic Games athletes and officials are expected. 1350 Paralympic Games athletes and officials are anticipated. 10000 media representatives and broadcasters are forcasted. 3000 recreational vehicle spaces exist. Here's where the numbers get interesting though...
The Olympic Family anticipates 50000 guests and 350000 spectators and tourists!
Take a moment to either list a wanted add on our free forums or if you have some non-traditional accommodation that you would like to offer to a spectator or tourist you can also list that ad here.
Likely at this point if a visitor is calling a hotel inquiring about accommodation they are being put on a waiting list. They will have to explore the options of bed and breakfasts, recreational vehicles, family and friends, and private rentals of houses and condominiums. Winter2010Rentals.com has a dedicated, 100% free forum for this purpose at forum.Winter2010Rentals.com.
