Visa
has opened 55 blue and white porcelain tourist information kiosks throughout Beijing to provide multilingual information services to
cardholders and international visitors traveling to China for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.
The Visa
kiosks - found at the Beijing Capital International Airport (BCIA), Olympic venues and key tourist and shopping areas - are themed with
the same blue and white brush stroke and traditional signature seal designs found on dozens of Olympic-themed Visa ATMs, making them easy
for Visa cardholders to recognize.
Upon arrival at BCIA’s newly-constructed Terminal 3, a Visa kiosk will greet international visitors with information related to Olympic events and
venues, tourist attractions and Beijing’s public transportation facilities during the Games. In addition to the kiosk found at Terminal 3, Visa has
installed kiosks throughout BCIA offering information about on-site emergency services should they lose their Visa card or need medical
assistance.
Richard Chang, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Greater China and the Philippines for Visa said, “This may be the first visit to
China for many of the visitors arriving for the Games, and we recognize that with so many events happening in the 17-day Games period, the
public will need accurate information quickly and in a language they know and understand. We worked with BOCOG to design these
eye-catching kiosks to ensure that visitors to the Games would be able to easily identify these resources.”
