How do I book accommodation for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games period?
www.2010DestinationPlanner.com is the main search engine for visitors wishing to book accommodation (hotel, B&B, home rentals, cruise ships, etc.) in Vancouver, Whistler and surrounding areas over the Games period. Consumers should check back frequently as new inventory will move quickly. We expect all visitors to the 2010 Olympic Winter Games will be able to find accommodation, some of which will be non-traditional (e.g. home rentals, cruise ship).

Olympic spectators may wish to consider accommodation in Vancouver's surrounding cities such as Richmond, West Vancouver, North Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Abbotsford and Squamish. The Sunshine Coast, Victoria and cities on Vancouver Island are also options and BC Ferries has committed to offering additional sailings between February 12 and 28, 2010 to service these locations. For complete details on transportation in Metro Vancouver and beyond, visit www.2010DestinationPlanner.com.

How will regular business travellers to Vancouver be affected during the Olympic period?
Business travellers are advised to book their business missions to Vancouver outside of the Olympic period as accommodation will be limited and regular transportation within the city will be maximized.

Renting a private home - information for owners and visitors
Please visit the City of Vancouver's website for information how to rent your home or a room in your home during Games time. Owners should note a new City of Vancouver temporary bylaw requiring owners to obtain a licence to rent homes for less than 30 days between January 1 and March 31, 2010.

Visitors can visit 2010 Destination Planner for more information on finding homes available for rent in Vancouver during the 2010 Winter Games.
