ATLANTA, Feb. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- One year out from the beginning of the 2010 Winter Olympics in British Columbia, Around the Rings has launched its first online edition of The Ultimate Insider's Guide:
http://www.aroundtherings.com/Vancouver/VancouverGuide.aspx
Content will be free to all users for the first 30 days.
The guide includes contact details for businesses and organizations with a stake in next year's Games. These range from the IOC to worldwide sponsors to government offices, along with restaurant and entertainment recommendations.
"Previous editions were always printed a few days before the Opening Ceremony so that the journalists and high-level visitors who used them had the most current information possible," said ATR editor Ed Hula. "This time, we wanted to make the information available for a longer period. Instead of a shelf-life of just a few weeks, this content will be available for one full year. It will be updated through March 2010, when the Paralympics conclude. "
The guide is divided into six chapters: Vancouver Games, Olympia, Business, Media, Government and Fun, Food and Nightlife.
Vancouver Games will include executives and media contacts; Olympia will include IOC contacts as well as upcoming host cities, while Fun, Food and Nightlife features restaurants and other attractions that have been personally reviewed by ATR staff.
Vancouver-area businesses can still be a part of the Vancouver Insider's Guide. Listings are free. Submissions should include business name; contact person; telephone; website; description of the business. Send to Vancouver@aroundtherings.com.
The guide will be available free of charge to all Web site visitors for the first 30 days. After that, some information will be available only to ATR subscribers or will be available for purchase.
The Vancouver Games run Feb. 12-28, 2010. The Paralympics are March 12-21.
AroundTheRings.com is the only publication devoted to providing original, on-the-scene reporting about the $5 billion dollar business of the Olympic Movement. With headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, Editor Ed Hula's staff includes correspondents around the globe.
