北京奥运将来，酒店房价却下跌。

北京正努力为观看奥运汹涌而来的游客做准备，根据当地旅行社的报告，北京酒店预订量到目前为止比预期的要低，由此导致酒店不得不以低于标准价30%的价格出售客房。这些折扣主要是在2到3星级的经济型酒店，根据中国酒店管理协会报道，北京市中心的高级酒店几乎被奥运主委会订满。

CUT-PRICE OLYMPICS

Beijing was bracing itself for a flood of visitors for the Olympic Games, which start in 12 days’ time – but booking numbers have fallen so far short of expectations that hotels in the Chinese capital are being forced to cut their standard rates by up to 30%, according to local travel agents. The bargains are mainly confined to two- and three-star hotels: the city’s poshest places to stay have been heavily booked by Olympic officials, says the China Hotel Management Association.
