You might have some questions about the upcoming Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games. Here are some frequently asked questions and some answers to your queries.
Q: How will the Olympics affect people who regularly travel on business to Vancouver?
A: People who travel on business to Vancouver on a regular basis should arrange their traveling before or after the games. The accommodation in the city will be limited and you don’t want to find yourself stuck in a rut. The taxis, buses and all transportation will be limited, so it may be hard to get to your meetings on time, or if ever.
Thinking of renting a private home or condo?
If you want to rent a room, condo, or home during the winter games then contact the City of Vancouver to find out how. Take note that there is a new temporary bylaw that owners must obtain a licence for renting your home during January 1st to March 31st, 2010 if less than 30 days.
How can I secure my lodging for the period of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games?
