I. INTRODUCTION IOC QUESTIONNAIRE

Q 01Introduction

a. What is your principal motivation for hosting the Olympic Winter games?

The promotion of peace on the Korean Peninsula :Korea is the only country in the world still divided by the Cold War. Gangwon Province,where Pyeongchang is located, is the only province in Korea separated by an armisticeline. The 1988 Seoul Olympics served as an occasion to bring about harmony betweenthe East and the West. Likewise, should the Olympic Winter Games, representing theOlympic spirit of harmony, be held in Pyeongchang in the first decade of the 21st century,it would contribute greatly to the promotion of peace on the Korean Peninsula and aroundthe world.

The popularization of winter sports in Asia :By hosting the 21st Olympic Winter Games, Pyeongchang wishes to help popularizewinter sports in the Asian region, where their popularity is still in the beginning stages buthas considerable growth potential as a result of economic development in the region.The number of people enjoying winter sports in Korea is increasing quite rapidly in Asia.Furthermore, the number of visitors from Asian countries with mild climates has risennoticeably in recent years. During the 2001-2002 winter season, some 500,000 skiersfrom other Asian countries visited Pyeongchang, a 30-percent increase from the 2000-2001 season. The hosting of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Pyeongchang is certainto make Pyeongchang more appealing as a winter sports destination, leading to thefurther popularization and development of winter sports in Asia.

b. What would be the impact and legacy for City / Region of hosting the Olympic Winter games?

A legacy of peace and unity :The preparation and hosting of the Olympics would promote peace and unity on theKorean Peninsula considerably. We believe this would be the most important legacy ofthe Pyeongchang Olympic Winter Games, and ultimately the most lasting and worthwhileachievement of the Olympic Movement, which is based on the principle of promotingworld peace and unity.

Growth as a center of winter sports in Asia :The Pyeongchang-Gangneung area, linking the sea and the mountains, is alreadyacclaimed as the best year-round sports and tourism site in Korea. When the facilitiesare upgraded and the area publicized to the rest of the world in preparation for theOlympic Winter Games, Pyeongchang will become an important center of Asian wintersports, satisfying a growing demand among Asian nations. Pyeongchang is then verylikely to see significant economic and cultural growth as well.

a- Briefly describe your vision of the Olympic Winter Games in your City/Region?

Pyeongchang, the applicant city for the 21st Winter Olympic Games, seeks to takeadvantage of the occasion to promote peace and reunification on the Korean Peninsula,and to foster world harmony by welcoming those countries, especially Asian nations, thatfind it difficult to participate fully in the games due to the barriers posed by their climates.Furthermore, Pyeongchang hopes to become a widely acclaimed center of winter sportsin Asia and an exemplary Olympic host city.

Motivation behind the choice of location :Korea has taken part in every occasion of the Olympic Winter Games since the 5th gameswere held in 1948, with the exception of the 6th in 1952 due to the Korean War. Itshistory of participation in the Olympic Winter Games can be credited to Pyeongchang, thecradle of Korean winter sports.

Located 750 meters above sea level, Pyeongchang fulfills all the requirements of a host forthe Olympic Winter Games, including optimal climate conditions, first-rate facilities andaccommodations, fast and safe high-speed transportation networks, and experiencehosting a variety of international competitions.

Expected benefits :Pyeongchang will guarantee smooth operation of the games and optimum conditions foreveryone, especially the athletes. Since Pyeongchang is located about two hours fromSeoul, the capital of Korea, with a population of 10 million, the event would have greatimpact. In addition, Gangneung, a city with a population of 250,000 and the venue fornumerous speed skating, figure skating and short track speed skating competitions, is atourist destination frequented by more than 10 million visitors each year, ensuring that thefacilities would be used for a variety of purposes after the Olympics. Wonju, a town with apopulation of 280,000 and just a one-hour drive from Seoul, is a popular venue for icehockey competitions that will have no difficulty finding post-Olympic uses for the facilities.

Vision and planning project :In line with the 4th National Territorial Development Plan (2001-2020), the highest-levelplan concerning Pyeongchang, Gangwon Province has been designated as an overallwinter sports, tourism and leisure region. Additionally, in the Gangwon ProvinceComprehensive Plan (2001-2020) and the East-West Inland Resort and Industrial BeltDevelopment Plan (2001-2020) the Pyeongchang area has been reserved as a wintersports center, and a variety of game and inter-regional transportation facilities are set forexpansion in the event that it is selected to host the Olympic Winter Games. Finally, theaim of the Pyeongchang County Development Plan (2002-2020), the local plan of “Happy700 Pyeongchang”, is to foster local economic development by encouraging winter sportsand tourism through the expansion of recreation facilities and infrastructure. Therefore,these plans are completely in line with the plan to bring the Olympic Winter Games toPyeongchang.

Q 02Concept



Q 03Public Opinion

3

a- What is the general public opinion in your City / Region and country towards your project of hosting theOlympic Winter Games?

The people of Pyeongchang, Gangwon Province and Korea strongly support the city's bidto host the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. Their support may be more passionate than thatof residents of any past Olympic host city.

According to a survey of Pyeongchang residents conducted from April 25-28, 2002, 96.8percent of respondents approved of the bid for the Olympic Winter Games. Furthermore,in a telephone survey conducted by the Gangwon Social Research Institute in March 2001,98 percent of respondents backed the proposal. Gallup Korea also carried out a surveytargeting Korean citizens in March 2002, which showed that 91.8 percent of respondentsfavored hosting the Olympic Winter Games.

Such fervent desire to host the Olympic Winter Games can be detected not only throughpublic opinion surveys but also through the commitment shown by legislators. All nineNational Assembly representatives from this region and 46 Provincial Council members,regardless of party affiliation, are taking part as committee consultants and members tobring the Olympic Winter Games to this area.

b-What opposition is there to your project?

Very few residents of Pyeongchang, Gangwon Province and Korea oppose hosting the2010 Olympic Winter Games, and the reasons for their opposition are inconsequential.

In the March Gallup poll, those who opposed hosting the Olympic Winter Gamesaccounted for only 8.2 percent of respondents throughout the nation. They cited theeconomic burden as the main reason for their opposition, while only 0.3 percent ofrespondents were concerned about the environment.

The influence of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) is far-reaching in today’s world,and Korea is no exception. However, in the case of Pyeongchang, many environmentalgroups have assumed direct and active roles in the plans related to the Olympic WinterGames, and have approved the idea of an environmentally friendly Olympic Winter Games.Therefore, it is highly unlikely that environmental concerns will arise.

Should you be accepted as a Candidate City to host the 2010 Olmpic Winter Games, how would your Candidature Committee be structured and composed?

If accepted as a candidate city for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, the city ofPyeongchang will select as members of its candidacy committee representatives of arange of fields nationwide.

The committee will be composed of representatives of the Korean Olympic Committee(KOC) and the Korean National Winter Sports Federation, including the KOC President andall three IOC members (Kim Un-yong, Lee Kun-hee and Park Yong-sung in Korea), as wellas key influential government figures for strong governmental support and cooperation. Inaddition, representatives from the fields of finance, academia, art and culture, as well ascivic groups, will join the committee, making it a nationwide, pan-governmentalorganization.

Specify, which public or private institutions, organizations or bodies would be represented in your Candidature Committee and their respestive level of authority.

The candidacy committee will consist of carefully selected and competent persons fromthe governments of Pyeongchang and Gangwon Province, the Pyeongchang CountyCouncil and the Gangwon Provincial Council, the Korean Olympic Committee, the KoreanNational Winter Sports Federation, organizations related to finance, academia, arts andculture, and environmental groups and other NGOs.

Phase II :For the PhaseII (candidacy) budget, the Pyeongchang Bid Committee plans to compile abudget of $2 million, which will include costs for overall bid preparations.


Q 21Goverment Contributions

21

How will your Games budget be structured(Private and/or public financing)?What financial commitments have you obtained from your national, regional or local govornment and

City authorities?

The national government of Korea and the regional governments of Gangwon Provinceand Pyeongchang County will provide the financial assistance needed to host the OlympicWinter Games successfully.

On Jan. 30, 2002, the national government of Korea decided to assist with the expensesof hosting the 2010 Olympic Winter Games from the national treasury. Based on the pastexperience of the 1988 Seoul Olympics, the national government is expected to bear 50percent of the public project costs.

Furthermore, the government of Gangwon Province and the Gangwon Provincial Councilalso have decided to provide financial assistance for expenses associated with thehosting of the Olympic Winter Games. The regional government of Pyeongchang Countyand the Pyeongchang County Council also resolved to assume the cost of hosting theevent.

In addition, the city governments of Gangneung and Wonju, the venues of ice sportscompetitions, will partially finance the construction of ice rinks.


Q 22OCOG Revenue-generating Potential

22

In addition to the TV revenues and TOP revenues you will receive from the IOC, what other revenue do youexpect to be able to generate? Please indicate source and estimatedamount.

We are accumulating the expertise needed for steady revenue generation through theexperience gained during the 1988 Seoul Olympics, the 2002 FIFA World Cup Finals andother international competitions. For the Olympic Winter Games, we will employ veryconservative and stable means of generating revenue, such as local sponsorship,licensing, official suppliers, Olympic coins, donations, lotteries and ticket sales.

The Organizing Committee of Olympic Games (OCOG) will secure local sponsorship from10 to 15 large domestic corporations, receiving financial support and technologicalservices worth $120 million. It will also earn $30 million through licensing and $20 millionin revenues from official sponsors via official suppliers. The Ministry of Finance andEconomy of Korea, the Bank of Korea and the Korea Mint Corporation will jointly issueOlympic coins valued at $5 million.

The OCOG expects to generate revenues of $23 million by introducing "2010 WinterOlympic Lotteries," beginning five years prior to the Olympic Winter Games, and, byconservative estimates, earn $90 million by selling 1.8 million tickets. Since Pyeongchangis just two hours by express highway and railway from Seoul, which has a population of10 million, such estimates are deemed quite reliable.

On top of these projections, about $10 million in additional revenue is expected to begenerated in the form of donations from private companies, social organizations, publicnonprofit organizations and individuals.

The OCOG anticipates $290 million in revenue through a variety of sources.
