Everyone knows the 2008 Beijing Olympics will be held in Beijing next year. For those of you who have not booked their air flight tickets already and made hotel reservations, you are in for a surprise of increased fares and hotel loding fee’s that will make Bill Gates blush. Well, I am exagerating a bit about blushing Bill Gates, but according to published reports in the news and industry sources I have spoken to, at the beginning of the new calendar year in January 2008, round trip ticket fares to China and hotel lodging expenses will be astronomical. Although travel expenses to China are expected to be high in 2008 because of the olympic games, there are still ways you can save money.
