Dear eTN reader,

Welcome back! It the beginning of another workweek, so we wish you all a productive week.

Just days before the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics and Chinese hoteliers are asking: Where is the Beijing Olympic rush? After looking forward to the Olympics hype for the past few years then slashing prices in "a last ditch effort" to attract customers, Beijing hotels are complaining that they have not seen the high occupancy rush anticipated. Yusof Sulaiman has this report in today lead story.
