From August 8 to 24, 2008, all eyes will be on Beijing, China. For a lucky few, they will experience the games up close and personal at the biggest amateur sports event of the year. This ancient city is a fascinating place and will be even more exciting as people from across the world converge to deem the best in 302 men's and women's events.
"The Olympics are always exciting, and this time there is the element of the exotic given that they are being held in fascinating and historic Beijing, China," comments Jeanne De Smedt from Virgin Vacations. "Visitors are guaranteed excellent sporting events and many exciting events outside of the games themselves."
Now that the games are under 200 days away, many people are booking their vacations in order to be part of this once in a lifetime event. However, those interested in attending, best book soon as spaces will fill up quickly. "We offer our Beijing At It's Best, which is a great vacation package for anyone taking in some of the Olympic events," De Smedt explains. "The package includes round trip airfare, five night hotel accommodations, daily breakfast and hotel taxes, service charges and fuel surcharges."
Virgin Vacations also offers many other escorted tour packages, multi-city vacations, and multi-country vacations for those interested in exploring more of China and Asia.
With the 2008 Olympics increasing the appeal of visiting Beijing, vacationers interested in attending the games should move quickly to book their Virgin Vacations packages.
