Commonwealth Games 2010: High On Entertainment

Multi national and multi sport global events have always promoted integrity and team spirit

. Held every four years, the Commonwealth Games involve the elite athletes of the Commonwealth of Nations. The next series, scheduled in October 2010, is going to be held in Delhi, India. This will be the 19th edition of Commonwealth Games and the largest multi sport event to be organized in Delhi and India.

The opening ceremony of Commonwealth Games 2010 will be conducted on October 3 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium and the event will last till October 14. Some of the most interesting facts regarding the event are:

71 nations from all over the globe will be participating in the event

Budget exceeds US $ 1.6 billion (non sports related infrastructure development is not included)

Proposed CWG village spreads over 158.4 acres of land

2, 3, 4 & 5 BHK apartments free accommodation for athletes

Total 17 kinds of sports activities including aquatics, archery, badminton, boxing, cycling, hockey, shooting, squash, table tennis, lawn tennis, wrestling, weight lifting etc.

Central Government of India is taking this matter very seriously, as its success can strengthen Indias bid for 2016 Summer Olympics. Arrangements are being made for security, transportation, electricity, accommodation and other facilities.

Concerned authorities have estimated an inflow of 2 million foreign tourists and 3.5 million domestic tourists to Delhi and the nearby regions during the event in 2010. Therefore, all the major tourist destinations near Delhi (including Agra, Jaipur, Udaipur, Varanasi, Khajuraho, Shimla, Kullu-Manali, Mussoorie etc.) are also being developed to promote India tourism.
