Before Christmas I was lucky enough to spend a week with the Accommodation Department of the Beijing Organising Committee. This was an incredibly useful trip and a great insight to the systems, processes and procedures we’ll be implementing over the next 4 ½ years. I was amazed at the calm and order in the office just 8 months before Games-time – what a tough act to follow!!!

I was also fortunate enough to meet with some of the hotels who are hosting the IOC, media and TOP sponsors and listen to their feedback. The hotels were delighted with the business they had received prior to the Games and were incredibly excited as they geared up towards a once-in-a-lifetime experience!!
