Olympic Green Restrictions Still In Place
BOCOG has not moved to relax restrictions limiting access to the Olympic Green, but today the organization said that it is continuing to organize people and travel agencies to visit the area. During its daily press briefing today, BOCOG Executive Vice President Wang Wei said that the organization had witnessed about “250,000 people inside the Olympic Green.”
Sponsors have complained that not enough people have been allowed to access the Olympic Green, where many of them spent millions of dollars building brand showcases designed to reach Chinese consumers.
But Wei said that people are visiting the sponsor showcasing area, and added that the organization would take measures to encourage more people to enter the Olympic Green.
“Perhaps maybe (the people) are not on the streets because the Olympic Green is a huge area,” Wang said. “Upon our estimation, everyday we are planning to increase more people, to encourage more people to go into the Olympic Green.”
Wang said BOCOG also is organizing communities and travel agencies to visit the Green.
