1a. REASONS FOR HOSTING THE OLYMPIC WINTER GAMES
1b. EXPECTED IMPACT FOR JACA AND ARAGÓN
I. INTRODUCTION: MOTIVATION, CONCEPT & PUBLIC OPINION
Unanimous wish. The Pyrenees have never
hosted the Olympic Games. Jaca has
repeatedly expressed its wish to do so. Now
the city is ready. To spread the Olympic spirit,
develop winter sports, provide high quality
infrastructures, broaden the base and the
processes of technical training for the
athletes: these are some of the reasons
behind that wish. Every level of government
and the widest possible range of public
institutions have pledged their support for
this project.
An outstanding territory. The Aragón
Pyrenees have some of the finest skiing
grounds in Spain, set in an impressively
beautiful landscape. For Jaca, the Winter
Games are the Games of the mountains, of
nature, of a territory far from congested
cities, but with high-powered infrastructures
for receiving visitors sensibly arranged to
avoid damage to the landscape.
Complicity and capacity. Jaca’s desire is
to produce perfect Winter Games which will
stand as a model for the future. The city
already has sports infrastructures capable
of meeting the most stringent demands and
they will be completed and perfected. It has
excellent communication systems and a fine
supply of accommodation near the
competition venues.
Jaca has the total complicity of the local
residents, the public authorities, the athletes
and the media.
“The Jaca 2010 project has finally become an
ambition for the whole of Spanish sport. We have
the wish, the know-how and the ability to organise
the Olympic Winter Games.”
Javier Callizo
President of Fundación Jaca 2010
Regional development. The Games will lay
the foundations for sustainable development
through the modernisation of
communications, the recovery of historic
sites, the development of sports and tourist
facilities, the creation of cultural centres,
the promotion of protection of the
environment or the introduction of new
educational and scientific centres to improve
the balance between rural areas and the
major population nuclei.
Social progress. The opportunities for
economic development provided by the
Games will be exploited to the benefit of the
local residents and will make the mountains
a focus of progress and an example of
modernity and development.
A boost for sport. The Games will provide
a boost for the practice of winter sports and
the training of elite athletes. Jaca intends
to broaden the scope of winter sports
through a high quality supply of facilities
and services and to encourage the practice
of those sports in schools.
Protection of the environment. The Games
will make it possible to create a model of
sport and tourist development, with low
impact, balanced and sustainable.
“Jaca, which, among other events, has hosted
two Winter Universiads, must continue to be a
world reference for winter sports”
Marcelino Iglesias
President of the Government of Aragón
2a. CONCEPT OF THE GAMES
I. INTRODUCTION: MOTIVATION, CONCEPT & PUBLIC OPINION
Jaca 2010 wants to bring the Games back
to the heart of the mountains, the true
leading actor in the drama of the Winter
Games. The idea is to return to the human
scale, to competition venues which are close
at hand, to the enjoyment of breathtakingly
beautiful scenery. The athletes and the whole
Olympic family will be lodged in mountain
hotels and residences, equipped with every
comfort, where they will feel completely at
home. On the basis of this concept, a project
has been drafted with the following
noteworthy aspects:
Concentration. All the Games venues, with
the exception of the subsites in Cerler and
Huesca, will be located in a rectangle of 15
x 35 km, marked out by the Aragón and
Gállego river valleys.
Excellence. The facilities are designed with
the athletes in mind and place maximum
emphasis on competition and training
conditions which will produce the best
results.
Specificity. Each sport will be held at a
different, suitable venue to the benefit of
the organisation, the training and the
competition calendar. The most appropriate
site for the conditions and requirements of
the sport will be chosen in each case.
Accessibility. The surroundings of the
competition venues will be accessible only
to accredited transport. Private vehicles will
be left in large car parks connected to them
by public transport. The train, a safe, high-
capacity means of transport, will reach the
very heart of the Games.
Suitability. The Jaca 2010 project will adapt
to the territory, using all its resources and
taking account of the characteristics of the
mountains; only existing ski slopes will be
used, and so it will not be necessary to
occupy any other natural area; the new hotel
and residential complexes, such as the one
in Canfranc, will enable the recovery of areas
which have been run down or are not
currently in use; historic buildings, such as
the Panticosa spa resort, will be refurbished,
rural areas will be given a new lease of life
so that people will stay in the territory; new
sports cultural and tourist centres will be
built.
Post-Olympic guarantee. All the snow
stadiums proposed are already in place and
are much used. The Ice Palaces that will have
to be built are part of a general improvement
plan which is already being implemented;
they all have a guarantee of use after the
Olympic Games as regional facilities. The
special facilities which will be built for the
Games –ski jumps and bobsleigh and luge
tracks– will be managed by the existing ski
resorts and centres.
Urban development. The Olympic and Media
Villages respond to real needs for growth
and will be on land legally classified by the
relevant planning ordinances. There will be
no problem integrating these residential
units into the urban fabric, or in
commercialising them, given the strong
demand for new residences.
The Jaca project is “different”, adapted to
the place, respectful of the Olympic
requirements, concerned about those taking
part and adapted to their needs. A project
that intends to avoid the oversizing of the
Games to guarantee their quality.

3a. PUBLIC OPINION
I. INTRODUCTION: MOTIVATION, CONCEPT & PUBLIC OPINION
3b. OPPOSITION
Unanimity. The Jaca 2010 Candidature
project has the unanimous support of the
people of Aragón. Both the people who live
in the region and their institutional
representatives, the political parties, the
associations and public bodies, the sports
clubs and business organisations are all
backing the movement by Jaca and the
Aragón Pyrenees to host the Olympic Winter
Games in 2010.
Perseverance. The Jaca Olympic bid is a
project with deep local roots. This is the
third time that the city has presented itself
to organise the Games, which is clear proof
of its Olympic calling.
Harmony. The Jaca 2010 Candidature is
accepted by the people, since the project
that has been drafted is in harmony with
the desires and aspirations of society: the
residents of the Pyrenees see in Jaca 2010
a good opportunity for the economic, social
and tourist development of the valleys, suited
to the nature of the Pyrenean environment
and coming at just the right time.
Since its beginnings in 1998, the Jaca 2010
Candidature has been mounting a
communication campaign whose aim to is
make sure the project is as widely known as
possible.
Opinion poll. In July 2001, the Candidature
commissioned a sociological survey of the
degree of familiarity with the Candidature
and the extent to which it was accepted. It
was carried out by the EDIS company among
the inhabitants of Alto Aragón.
The result showed that 85% of the people
knew that Jaca is presenting its candidature
for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games and 8
out of 10 were clearly in favour of holding
them in the city.
Since Jaca has been chosen as Spanish
candidate city for the organisation of the
Games by the Spanish Olympic Committee,
support has not stopped growing. Proof of
that is the increasing pride of place given to
the candidature by the regional media.
“Jaca 2010 can make a series of pending projects
a reality, it can bring about a huge improvement
in all snow and ice facilities and an enhancement
of the venue cities, which will make us leaders in
the supply of quality tourism.”
Enrique Sánchez-Cruzat
Businessman
The Jaca Candidature has few opponents.
So far some political parties, which represent
a minority in Aragón, have taken a sceptical
or contrary position, as have one or two
citizens’ organisations. At all events, the
official position of Jaca 2010 is to carry out
a totally transparent candidature, through
which all social groups and bodies can be
permanently informed about any decisions
that may affect them.
Legal status. For the preparation, promotion
and implementation of the Jaca Candidature,
on 4 November 1998 Fundación Jaca 2010
was constituted as a non-profit-making
foundation. The legal status of foundation
provides maximum flexibility and
independence in decision-making.
Goals. The goal of Fundación Jaca 2010 is
the promotion and implementation of as
many activities as may be required for the
city to present its candidature for the
Olympic Games in 2010. That includes the
promotion and implementation of sports
plans and projects and any activities which
may help to publicise and boost the whole
territory affected by the Olympic Games.
Institutional representation. All levels of
the Spanish public administration are
represented in Fundación Jaca 2010: central,
regional or autonomous, provincial and local,
as well as the leading sports bodies: The
Spanish Olympic Committee, the Royal
Spanish Winter Sports Federation and the
Aragón Winter Sports Federation.
The presidency of Fundación Jaca 2010 is
occupied by the Regional Minister for Culture
and Tourism of the Government of Aragón,
and the vice-presidents are the mayor of
Jaca, the president of Huesca Provincial
Council, the president of the Spanish Olympic
Committee and the secretary of state for
Sport.
II. POLITICAL SUPPORT
4. CANDIDATURE COMMITTEE
Executive structure. The director general
is at the head of a multidisciplinary team of
professionals with wide experience in the
planning, preparation and organisation of
international sports events, as well as the
preparation and defence of Olympic
candidatures.
The main sections of the candidature are:
director general, secretary general,
communication infrastructures, transport,
sports infrastructures, communication and
promotion, volunteers and administration.
Institutional and business cooperation.
The Jaca 2010 Candidature is working closely
with the national, regional and local public
administrations on the preparation of the
Candidature, as well as with private
companies and organisations.
Members of the IOC. Although they are not
yet part of the Candidature, the Spanish
members of the International Olympic
Committee are kept permanently informed
of its progress as they are also members of
the Spanish Olympic Committee. In any case,
if Jaca 2010 is appointed candidate city by
the IOC, the members in Spain will be invited
to join the Candidature Committee.
5. GOVERNMENT SUPPORT
II. POLITICAL SUPPORT
Firm decision. The support the Jaca 2010
Candidature is receiving from all the state
administrations is firm and unanimous. Proof
of that is the fact that each of them is a
member of the Candidature Committee.
In any case, the Jaca 2010 Candidature has
obtained the express support of the central,
autonomous and local governments.
Full guarantees. After the decision of the
Spanish Olympic Committee to present the
city of Jaca as official candidate, it agreed
on 3 May 2002 to support the presentation
of that candidature and to provide the
commitments and guarantees, including the
financial ones, required by the IOC.
At sessions held over 2000, the Government
of Aragón and Jaca City Council agreed to
support the Jaca 2010 Candidature. At the
same time, both governments approved
respect for the Olympic Charter and its bye-
laws, observance of environmental legislation
in all works required for the organisation of
the Games, the presence of the Government
of Aragón and Jaca City Council on the future
Organising Committee and cooperation with
the other public administrations to make the
necessary investments.
Similar agreements were approved by the
Plenary of Huesca Provincial Council and
the other town councils in the Olympic
Territory.
6. LEGAL ASPECTS
II. POLITICAL SUPPORT
Legal obstacles. In Spanish law there is no
obstacle to an optimal organisation of the
2010 Olympic Winter Games, as shown by
the organisation of the Barcelona’92 Olympic
Games.
New laws. In addition to the favourable
general legal framework for the organisation
of the Games, it is a well-founded hope that
the government, through parliament, will
approve financial and tax regulations
designed to encourage public and private
financing. To that end, we have the powerful,
fruitful precedent of the Barcelona Olympic
Games. Here we should emphasise that a
sponsorship law which provides substantial
tax benefits for private activities such as
economic support for the organisation of
the Olympic Games is awaiting parliamentary
approval.
Laws related to sport. Spain has a far-
reaching legal system as far as sport is
concerned. There is a state law, Law 10/1990,
15 October, on Sport. In addition, there are
17 laws passed by the autonomous
communities in which Spain is organised
territorially which also regulate sport.
Anti-doping laws and instruments. In Spain
there are advanced rules about doping.
Along with the general basic provisions of
the 1990 Sport Law, there are the following
important provisions in the field of the fight
against drugs:
• Order of 11 January 1996. This sets out the
general rules for doping control and the
general conditions for the approval and
functioning of non-state sport doping control
laboratories.
• Royal Decree 255/1996, of 16 February.
System of infringements and sanctions for
the suppression of doping.
• Resolution of 21 March 2000, by the Higher
Sports Council. This approves the list of
forbidden pharmacological substances and
groups and non-regulation methods of
doping in sport.
World Anti-doping Agency. The Spanish
government has participated in the World
Anti-doping Agency since it was created and
contributed to its financing.
In Spain there are two laboratories accredited
by the IOC, one in Barcelona and another in
Madrid. The laboratory in Barcelona was used
during the 1992 Olympic Games. The one in
Madrid has been operating continuously since
1969, applying the Code provided for in the
application of the Law. Since 2001, it has both
IOC and WADA accreditation, and it has had
ISO 17025 standard since 2001.
Should Jaca be awarded the Games, a
complete doping laboratory unit will be set
up in the city. It will be functionally dependent
on the laboratory in Madrid.

III. GENERAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Olympic airport. The arrivals airport will be
Zaragoza, 140 km from Jaca. From there
bus and car services will transfer passengers
to their destination in a time of about 70
minutes. Zaragoza airport will have all
necessary connecting flights to ensure a
permanent link with the international
airports in Madrid and Barcelona (35 minutes
in each case), where most of the regular
flights to other countries arrive and depart.
Zaragoza airport has two runways, 3,000 m
and 3,740 m, so any international regular or
charter flight can land there. A terminal
will be reserved exclusively for the Olympic
event, with a surface area of over 5,000 m2,
where the Olympic Family services and one
of the accreditation services will be located.
Opposite the Olympic terminal will be the
bus and car station which will transport the
passengers to their places of residence.
In 2003 the high-speed railway line (350
km/h) between Madrid and Zaragoza will be
in operation, and in 2004 it will reach
Barcelona, thus reinforcing the connection
between the nodal airports and Zaragoza.
The travelling time will be about 70 minutes
in each case.
9b. INTERNATIONAL CONNECTIONS
Nodal airports. Madrid airport deals with a
large volume of regular traffic, over 30
million passengers per year, many of them
for connecting flights. It has a total of over
60,000 annual connections with regular
flights to over 90 countries. Barcelona
airport is the second nodal airport of Spain,
with over 45,000 connections per year with
regular international flights; it was an
Olympic airport in 1992. Both airports have
more than enough capacity to deal with all
the Olympic traffic. The connections with
Zaragoza airport will be covered by a
specially sized air shuttle to cover all
transport and baggage handling
requirements generated by the Games. At
Madrid and Barcelona airports there will be
Olympic Family reception and service units,
with capacity to solve any transport problem
that may arise.
Rail connections. In addition to the air
connection, by 2010 both Madrid and
Barcelona airports, and, of course, Zaragoza,
will have high-speed rail links to Huesca and
lower speed ones to Jaca and Canfranc.
10a. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
10b. IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT
III. GENERAL INFRASTRUCTURE
10c. PROGRAMMES IN OPERATION
Natural heritage. The Jaca 2010 venues
are surrounded by the magnificent
ecosystems of the Pyrenees, which are of
great ecological value: treasure-troves of
biodiversity. Right down to the present day,
they have been maintained in an excellent
state of conservation.
Over 160,000 hectares are protected and
another 300,000 have been integrated into
the European NATURE 2000 network as
Special Bird Protection Zones.
Minimum impact. Jaca 2010 will basically
be using existing infrastructures. The few
new works will be done according to the
most rigorous studies to minimise their
environmental impact.
Protection programme. Promoting plans
for the conservation of endangered species,
such as the bearded vulture (Gypaetus
barbatus), or the bear (Ursus arctos);
fostering the protection of new natural areas
(Peña-Oroel Natural Park, Western Valleys),
and recovering run down natural spaces.
New buildings. The new buildings will be
equipped with systems designed to obtain
low energy and resource consumption.
Environmental education. The aim is to
obtain the active participation of the local
residents in the environmental programmes
and to set up a number of centres designed
for publicising the natural heritage.
Energy, waste and water. Programmes to
reduce the consumption of energy and water
and to cut down on waste will be
implemented.
Sustainability. Jaca has signed the “Alborg
Charter” of European cities and towns
towards sustainability and is currently
drafting its own Agenda 21. Jaca is also part
of the mountain tourist towns on the “Green
Town” project, whose aim is to introduce an
optimal environmental management
programme.
Waste. Since 1998, Aragón has had a Solid
Urban Waste Management Plan, which
concentrates waste in tips that meet the
most demanding technical standards. There
is also a Construction and Demolition Waste
Management Plan.
Water. The Aragón Cleaning and Purification
Plan deals with the purification of water at
all centres of population according to
European directives.
Natural environment. The Aragón Plan for
Forestry and Conservation of Biodiversity
aims at sustainable management of the
forests and the establishment of a coherent
network of natural areas covering 1,400,000
hectares (30% of Aragón).

12. DATES OF THE OLYMPIC GAMES
IV. SPORTS VENUES
The Jaca 2010 Candidature Committee
proposes to hold the XXI Olympic Winter
Games over the period between Friday 5
February and Sunday 21 February 2010.
Friday 5 February will be the day of the
Opening Ceremony and Sunday 21 the finals
of the sports scheduled on the competition
calendar and the Closing Ceremony.
The dates proposed are considered optimal
from the meteorological point of view and
they adapt perfectly to the requirements of
Olympic tradition. In February the snow in
the Pyrenees is perfect in terms of quality
and quantity and the climactic conditions
are optimal.
Those dates are also ideal from the tourist
point of view, since they do not overlap with
any of the peaks of the winter tourist season,
notably Christmas and Easter, which
guarantees the availability of hotel
accommodation and problem-free travel.
The dates also adapt neatly to the calendars
of the International Federations.
Lastly, from Friday 5 to Sunday 14 March,
the Paralympic Games can be held in ideal
conditions.
At all events, according to the terms of the
Olympic Charter, the Olympic Games
Organising Committee will submit the
proposed dates for the approval of the IOC
Executive Board and will accept any
suggestions or amendments it may put
forward.

15. OLYMPIC VILLAGES AND MEDIA VILLAGES
IV. SPORTS VENUES
Jaca Olympic Village. It will be located in
an urban development area to the east of
the city, directly linked by dual carriageway
N-330. The area has been duly classified by
the General Plan and has a surface area of
26.34 ha, of which the Olympic Village will
occupy 18. The railway station is about 800
m away and the historic centre is also within
walking distance, 1,500 m.
550 housing units will be built, equivalent
to 1,800 rooms, a minimum of 12 m2, which
will accommodate the 3,500 athletes and
officials expected. The apartments will be
built with a ground floor and two upper
floors amid a zone of trees and gardens.
Once the Games are over, they will be sold
as private residences and will be easy to
commercialise, given the high demand.
The international zone –which will contain
the stores, services and recreation and
entertainment areas– will be separate from
the residential zone, where the
accommodation, common service areas,
NOC headquarters, medical services and
sports facilities will be. The Village will be
equipped with all security measures to
guarantee a comfortable stay.
Formigal Auxiliary Village. For the athletes
and officials competing in cross-country
skiing and biathlon, an auxiliary Village will
be built in Formigal, on land next to the ski
resort, 1,500 metres about sea level. Since
the competition venue is in La Partacua,
between 1,600 and 1,750 metres, the resident
athletes will only have a difference of altitude
of under 200 m and their performance
should be optimal. The Village will consist
of 140 apartments, equivalent to about 400
rooms and 700 beds. The standard of
services, facilities and security will be
identical to those of the Jaca Village. After
the Games, the apartments will be sold or
rented for private, residential or tourist use.
Cerler Auxiliary Village. To guarantee
comfortable travel for the athletes and
officials competing in Cerler, an auxiliary
Village will be built there.
It will have about 300 rooms (500 beds) in
120 apartments. The standard of comfort,
services and security will be identical to
those of the Jaca Village. After the Games,
the apartments will be put on the tourist-
property market.
Media Village. Three Media Villages will be
built at the nerve centres of the Games:
Sabiñánigo, Jaca and Huesca. The first, with
about 600 apartments, will have 2,100
rooms, of which 350 will be double and the
rest single occupation. The Jaca Village will
have 300 housing units with 1,050 rooms
(250 doubles), and the one in Huesca 250
units, with 850 rooms, of which 175 will
double.
The rest of the accommodation required for
the media will be in hotels located near the
competition venues. All the hotel rooms will
be for single occupation.
The three Media Villages planned will be
built on duly classified urban land. Their
construction responds to the types required
by the property market: houses with gardens
or small units with a ground floor and one
or two other floors. In every case all
necessary measures will be taken to reduce
environmental impact and consumption of
resources.

Direction and coordination. The Higher
Commission for Olympic Security will direct
and coordinate the action of the security
institutions and forces which normally
operate within the sphere of their
competences: National Police Force, Civil
Guard, Ministry of Defence, Local Police,
Traffic Department and civil protection forces
such as the Fire Brigade and Red Cross and
the resources provided by the Organising
Committee. The staff of all of those forces
in the Olympic territory will be reinforced
as required.
The Higher Commission for Olympic Security
will be in charge of drafting, coordinating
and monitoring the Strategic Plan, the
Olympic Security Master Plan and the
executive plans which will define the
responsibilities and the spheres of action of
the defence, security, civil protection and
emergency resources provided by the
18a. SECURITY STRUCTURE
V. LOGISTICS AND EXPERIENCE
Higher Commission for Olympic Security.
Olympic security will be based on an
integrated system of public and private plans
and resources directed and coordinated by
the Higher Commission for Olympic Security,
of which the Organising Committee will be
a member, along with representatives of the
central, regional and local administrations.
The State Intelligence Services will also be
included.
The Commission, which will exercise total
authority and decision-making power within
the sphere of the Games, will be presided
by a senior official of the Ministry of the
Interior, which will hold and exercise
command and coordination over all the
material and human resources provided by
each administration and the Organising
Committee.
The command organ, which will be
dependent on the Commission, will be a main
command and coordination centre with
representatives from the institutions and
the Organising Committee security
department. There will be three levels of
security: subsites, areas and facilities. The
operational principle will be decentralisation
in the execution of the measures provided
for in the operational plans at the facility,
and centralisation at higher levels for
monitoring operations, taking decisions and
managing the back-up resources required in
emergencies or situations that go beyond
the sphere of the area or subsite.
18b. RESOURCES
different administrations and the private
security and Olympic volunteer resources
provided by the Organising Committee.
Security Master Plan. All the Olympic
Games facilities will have the physical and
electronic security resources defined in the
Security Master Plan. They will be operated
by the Olympic volunteers or private security
staff that depend on the Organising
Committee, and will be supervised and
supported by members of the state security
forces.
Security inside and outside the Olympic
facilities will be guaranteed by the
participation of state administration staff
belonging to the Ministries of Defence and
the Interior, and the police and civil
protection forces depending on the local and
regional administrations.
19. EXPERIENCE

and the World Athletics Cup, among others.
20. CANDIDATURE BUGDET
VI. FINANCING
Public guarantee. The Government of
Aragón, the administration behind the
Candidature, has guaranteed, through its
Regional Minister for Culture and Tourism,
that it will go ahead with its plan to subsidise
the Jaca 2010 Candidature as long as the
process lasts.
The integral budget for Fundación Jaca 2010
is aimed to meet the goal of the foundation,
i.e., the promotion and implementation of
as many activities as may be required for
the city to present its candidature for the
Olympic Games in 2010.
Private sponsorship. The budget for revenue
for the Candidature is made up with all
income from the Candidature Sponsorship
Plan, in which leading private Spanish entities
are already taking part.
The Jaca 2010 Candidature was launched in
1998 and from then until the end of 2001 it
had invested $2.1 million.
For phase I of the Candidature process, i.e.
from February 2002 until September 2002,
the budget is $0.9 million.
If the Jaca Candidature is selected as one
of the finalists, the budget for Phase II is
estimated at $2 million.
21. GOVERNMENT CONTRIBUTION
VI. FINANCING
Budget structure. The economic
management model proposed by the Jaca
2010 Candidature combines input from the
public sector -staggered over a period of
ten years– with the involvement of the
private sector, which will occupy an
important place once the access
infrastructures to the Pyrenees have been
completely modernised.
The budget for the future Organising
Committee will be structured according to
a joint venture model of public and private
funding, based on the fundamental principle
of a balanced budget.
Financial commitments. The Spanish
Government, the Government of Aragón,
the Huesca Provincial Council and Jaca City
Council are part of the Candidature
Committee.
If Jaca is chosen as host city for the 2010
Olympic Winter Games, they have
undertaken to be part of the future
Organising Committee and have made the
following commitments:
• To provide the future Organising Committee
with the necessary revenue to function from
constitution to the entry of the first income.
• To assume any possible deficit generated
by the organisation of the Olympic Games.
• To supply all security, health and customs
services and any others that depend directly
on the administration, at no expense to the
future Organising Committee.
• To make available to the future Organising
Committee all the sports facilities and any
others that depend on the public
administrations, at no expense to the future
Organising Committee or for a rental value
approved by the IOC.
• To implement, finance or promote the
development projects for infrastructures
and facilities required for the Olympic Games.
22. ESTIMATED ORGANISING COMMITTEE REVENUE
VI. FINANCING
In order to increase the Organising
Committee revenue from television rights
and the International Olympic Committee
TOP programme, the Jaca 2010 Olympic
Games Organising Committee will draft a
Commercialisation Plan designed to
guarantee a balanced budget.
For that purpose, working with the Spanish
Olympic Committee, the Organising
Committee will draft a single Sponsorship
Plan which will set out the most suitable
schemes for maximising revenue and
ensuring top quality for the Games. As for
the Barcelona 92 Olympic Games, the
marketing programmes will be managed by
the Organising Committee. Working in close
cooperation, it will plan all actions to be
undertaken from the moment the Games
are awarded to the time they are held.
If Jaca is accepted as candidate city for the
organisation of the 2010 Olympic Winter
Games, before the host city is chosen, the
Candidature Committee and the Spanish
Olympic Committee will draw up a single
Sponsorship Plan to meet IOC requirements.
There will be close liaison at all times with
the IOC and the TOP programmes.
Jaca 2010 expects the Olympic Winter Games
to generate the following revenue
(million US$):
Local sponsorship 120
Licences 20
Official sponsors 30
Coins and stamps 5
Lotteries 28
Sales of tickets 40
Sales of assets 15
Subsidies 66
Others (sales of services, etc.) 30
These figures are only a conservative
estimate of revenue from sponsorship in the
country, coins, etc.
At phase II of the Candidature, all the figures
