Beijing has worked out an encyclopaedia-like bidding report, clearing
another height in its campaign for the 2008 Olympic Games.
In compliance with the requirements of the International Olympic
Committee (IOC), the 596-page and three-volume report cover a total
of 17 topics such as finance, environmental protection, marketing,
sports and competition, Olympic village, traffic and Paralympic
Games.
The report is also enclosed with 169 letters of guarantee from such
bodies as government ministries and hotels. It also includes all
the letters of approval from 28 Summer Olympics sports federations.
It is also made of environment-friendly paper, which is an embodiment
of the "Green Olympics" Beijing promotion in its bidding
process.
Five candidate cities including Beijing, Paris, Osaka, Toronto and
Istanbul, are required to present bidding documents to the IOC before
the deadline of January 17.
Each candidate has about four months to prepare the report on which
the IOC issued guidelines at Sydney in September.
