What is the expected number of visitors to the 2008 summer Olympics?

Answer 1

According to the Associated Press, there are going to be 500,000 security persons at the Games to match the number of foreign visitors expected. There are about 7-8 million tickets for the Olympics with 75% of tickets for sales in China and 25% for overseas sales - almost 2 million tickets for worldwide sales. I expect 5-10% attendance will come from US alone although I have heard reports that many athletes families cannot attend due to traveling costs. While there are many reports that tickets are selling out fast, many hotels in the area are still not at full capacity or even 75% for the Games. Many of the Chiinese must be attending.
