The number of tourists visiting Beijing’s Olympic Halls from outside Beijing City and enjoying the post-Olympic atmosphere gradually increases after the Olympic Games ends. Some travel agencies predict that the post-Olympics tourism will be a light spot of the tourist market.
The latest online survey indicates that 70 percent of interviewees intend for their trips after Olympic Games. Therefore, Beijing City becomes the tourists’ favorite Olympic Games City. It is known that some Olympic Games Halls such as “Bird’s Nest” and “Water Cube” will open to tourists meanwhile the travel service will provide the tourists with the rich, colorful and post-Olympic Games trip service. Furthermore, Co-Host Cities such as Hong Kong, Qingdao and Shanghai will become the hot sight points targeted by the tourists.
In tourist expert’s opinion, the post-Olympic Games effect produced to drive the development of the tourism will last for 5-10 years at least.

At that time, the number of tourists entering China and staying over night will attain to 100 million person-times, and the number of the tourists enjoying the domestic travel service will attains to 2.8 billion person-times.
