The operator of the iconic Bird's Nest, or the National Stadium has come up with a new idea to make the venue profitable after the Beijing Olympic Games.
Visitors can pay 120 yuan, or nearly 17 dollars to experience the feeling of winning an Olympic medal.
The experience includes wearing a Team China Olympic costume, standing on the podium to receive a bouquet and posing for a photo with a fake gold medal.
The tourist package has triggered debate among the public. Some people have expressed opposition by saying that the activity is an insult to the Olympic spirit.
However a commentary in the Beijing News says the impact is not as negative as what some people think.
The writer says, almost everyone adores the athletes who won glory at the stadium last summer. Many athletes fulfilled their dreams there. The "Olympic Champion" tour package just caters for common people's desire to be a success.(www.hXen.com)
The article says the annual operation cost of the Bird's Nest is about 150 million yuan. It's quite reasonable for it to find new means to attract tourists. The only question is whether the charge for the service is reasonable.
