Olympics Organizers Free 120000 London Hotel Rooms

Organizers of 2012 London Olympics made announcement regarding the release of 120,000 hotel room nights back onto the open market. They also announced that 20 percent of room nights reserved in London would be returned back to the hotels for other customers.

The spaces had been mainly reserved to offer accommodation to media, global sport federations, International Olympic Committee, Games workers and sponsors.
Rooms have been booked in approximately 200 hotels, which includes from five star to budget accommodation. From 27th July to 12th august 2012, thousands of visitors are expected to visit London.

Chief Executive of London Olympics, Paul Deighton said, “The hotel industry in London got behind the bid to stage the Games in the most extraordinary way and that support helped us across the line. We always promised that we would not hold on to hotel rooms we didn't need but return them to the individual hotels at the beginning of 2012. We are now doing this and I hope that this enables the hotels to continue with their planning for this summer as we all work together to stage a spectacular Games.”

On July 27, around 900 children will perform in the opening ceremony of 2012 London Olympics. The magnificent event will be viewed by 80,000 people in the Olympic Stadium.

Seb Coe, LOCOG chair said, “Being part of the Ceremonies is a great way of inspiring young people, I’m delighted schoolchildren from the Host Boroughs will be part of our show and help tell our story to the world. The students involved will have an incredible experience which will build their confidence and a sense of pride in themselves, their friends, family, school and wider community.”

The Artistic Director of London 2012 Olympic Ceremony show, Danny Boyle said, “We've called the show "Isles of Wonder", inspired by Shakespeare's The Tempest. Our Isles of Wonder salutes and celebrates the exuberant creativity of the British genius in an Opening Ceremony that we hope will be as unpredictable and inventive as the British people.”

The proceedings will start with largest harmonically tuned bell in Europe, as informed by Danny Boyle. Whitechapel Bell Foundry has produced the bell, which measures two meters tall by three metres wide and weigh around 23 tonnes. The words inscribed on bell are ‘Ben not afeared the isle is full of noises.”
