If Salzburg is honoured with the right to host the XXII Olympic Winter Games and XIParalympic Winter Games, the Opening Ceremony for the Olympic Winter Games will be heldon Friday, 7 February 2014 and the competitions will run until the Closing Ceremony onSunday 23 February. The 2014 Paralympic Winter Games will be held from Friday 7 March through to Sunday 16 March.

These dates provide an ideal window for showcasing the winter magic of Salzburg to the world, more importantly they provide the best conditions for the athletes and theoperational demands of the Games:

· Optimal Weather Conditions: After careful analysis of weather patterns, these dates were selected to deliver the best competitive atmosphere through optimal climatic conditions.The period proposed from the beginning of the Olympic Winter Games through theconclusion of the Paralympic Winter Games provides the highest certainty of quality snow as well as clear and stable winter weather. (See question VIII – 24, page 53).

· Best Operational Timeframe: During these dates, most Austrian schools and universitiesare enjoying their winter holidays, which means university campuses are vacant andavailable for volunteer and media accommodations. These holidays also create a dynamic opportunity for the youth of the country to experience the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games right at home. Holidays in neighbouring countries during this period promise to increase the participation of international spectators as well.

· No Major Scheduling Conflicts: The proposed dates were selected with an eye on theinternational sports calendar. The Grand Slam tennis tournament in Melbourne/Australiawill be completed, the US Super Bowl will be over, and the beginning of the UEFAChampions League and the Formula One Racing Circuit will follow.

To serve and strengthen the Olympic Movementby creating a magical experience for the world’s winter sports heroes

In many ways, winter sport – particularly Olympic Winter Sport – helped Austria rebuild its national identity, regain its sense of confidence, and re-establish its place in the communityof nations in the aftermath of World War II. The Olympic Movement made this healingpossible – both nationally and internationally – as Austria’s winter heroes emerged on the stage of global sport to help restore the nation’s pride.

Out of a deep sense of gratitude Austria seeks to serve and strengthen the OlympicMovement by hosting the 2014 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. To accomplish this goal, Austria has shaped a vision to put its extraordinarily rich tradition of winter sporthospitality – and the magnificent setting of its most beautiful city – in the service of the Olympic Movement to create a magical experience for the world’s winter sports heroes.

With the completely unified political support of the Federal Government of Austria, the State of Salzburg and the Host City, the Austrian Olympic Committee is presentingSalzburg as its 2014 candidate – in the country’s fourth consecutive winter bid – for two primary reasons.

First, there’s the simple reason that Salzburg is a city built to perform as a host. The design of Salzburg – its evolution as a world-class brand and its stature as a UNESCO World HeritageSite – creates an extraordinary stage for the greatest celebration of winter sport. Every year, the famous Salzburg Festival demonstrates the city’s unique ability to welcome the world. In hosting the Games, Salzburg will create a magical atmosphere that will elevate theOlympic experience to a level of storybook enchantment – for the athletes, the Olympic Family, the spectators, and the worldwide television audience.

Second, Salzburg’s existing capital infrastructure gives the bid tremendous advantages in venue facilities (8 of 11 existing), transportation (91% of venues directly accessed byautobahn and rail), and accommodations (capacity of 60,000 quality rooms far exceedsrequirements).

To reach its goal Salzburg has combined its world-class enchantments with its existinginfrastructure to create a One Olympic Village, Two Cluster, One Medal Plaza vision for the Games that will unify the Olympic Family – and the world – in a true celebration of the magic of winter sport.

In hosting the 2014 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, Salzburg would strive to achieve three significant legacies.

· In its bid and vision for the Games, Austria is seeking to elevate its tradition of ice sports,particularly figure-skating, speed skating, and curling, to a level of excellence commensuratewith its established traditions in all other Olympic winter sports. Given Austria’s significant role in the world’s winter sport competitive circuit, the benefits of this legacy will extend to all of Europe and the world.

· The youth of the world are in transition. In Austria and across Europe interest andparticipation in competitive winter sports are waning as new outlets and activities draw youth away from traditional winter paths. In organising the Games, Salzburg wouldutilize its geographic centrality and its advanced media communications abilities tofocus on emerging winter heroes and help to re-energise winter sports – nationally andinternationally – in an effort to inspire the next generation to help recognise their destinies and take up the game of winter sport.

· In a broader perspective, beyond the host city and state, we believe Salzburg is uniquelypositioned to strengthen the brand values of the Olympic Movement. As a recognizedglobal centre of culture, Salzburg would use its impressive array of cultural resources and its creative imagination to strengthen worldwide awareness of the vital connection between sport and culture, reinforcing the Olympic Movement’s enduring commitment to make this link known through the celebration of every Olympiad.

With the distinct advantage of having bid for the 2010 Winter Games, Salzburg was able to use the IOC 2010 Evaluation Commission Report as a blueprint for improving its new plan. By following the IOC’s guidance and reconfiguring its venue selection, Salzburg 2014 was able to eliminate the long-distances that so often separate Olympic ice and snow events – and ensure ease of access by aligning all but three of its venues along the high-capacity corridors of the A1 and A10 Autobahns.

In simplifying its vision, the Salzburg team has created a compact plan that reaches for the ultimate Winter Games model – a One Olympic Village, Two Cluster Concept with the ice events grouped in Salzburg and the snow events grouped in the mountains just south of the city. The overall dimensions of the plan – at 55 minutes end-to-end – make it possible to have a single Medals Plaza for all Olympians in the heart of the city. The plan is designed to provide the Olympic Family with the most compact and intimate setting for the Winter Games in the last two decades.

The principle of unity was a driving force for the Village location, the selection of venuesand the placement of sports and the Main Media Centre. 8 out of the 11 venuesselected (73%) currently exist and regularly host major events on the world-cup circuit.Recognizing the critical importance of consolidating media operations, Salzburg also chose to place its Main Media Centre in an existing facility at the heart of the plan adjacent to the ice venues.

Within the Snow Cluster, an optional Snow Village with 1,500 beds will be provided for the athletes and teams who prefer to stay within minutes of their competition sites. With the optional Village added, the average travel time for athletes to the snow venues is 10 minutes.

Expected benefits at Games-time and post-Olympic use

A successful Salzburg candidacy for 2014 will help the state and the nation elevate itstradition of ice sports – particularly figure-skating, speed skating, and curling – to a level of excellence commensurate with its established alpine, nordic, sliding and ice hockeytraditions. Given Austria’s significant role in the world’s winter sport competitive circuit, the benefits of this legacy will extend to all of Europe and the world.

Salzburg’s commitment to build two new permanent ice halls – one for figure skating and one for ice hockey – help underscore the depth of this goal. The benefits of utilizing eight existing venues reflect the spirit of the IOC’s organisational guidelines as well as Austria’s leadership commitment to environmental sustainability.

All the venues in the plan – existing and new – will serve as major sports facilities after the Games.

On a broader scale – as a result of the extensive existing capital infrastructure – the reduced need for expenditures on capital construction will empower Salzburg to invest more on atmosphere and experience spending to create and enhance the celebration of the magic of winter sport for all participants.

Explain how your concept fits into your city/region’s long-term planning strategy.

Since the early 1980s, Salzburg has been developing its venue and transportationinfrastructure to elevate its image as a sports and tourism destination. In preparation for its first Olympic bid in 1995, Salzburg adapted its master plan to the ultimate goal of hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. The resulting civic commitments produced the development of three new venues:

· The Salzburg Volksgarten in 2001, which will host Ice Hockey· The Euro 2008 Soccer Stadium in 2003, which will serve as the Olympic Stadium· The Salzburg Arena in 2004, which will host Curling

In addition, there have been numerous alpine and nordic venue upgrades and transportationsystem improvements as part of the hosting plan. In the context of the city’s master plan, these developments – and future infrastructure commitments exceeding 1 billion USD –reflect the clear alignment of Salzburg’s long-term planning with its goal of hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

Austrians are passionate about winter sports and passionate about the Olympic Winter Games. The popularity of Olympic Winter Sports in Austria is demonstrated by the fact that over the last 20 years, more than ten million people – in a nation of eight million – have attended winter sports events in the country. The passion for Olympic sport extends inAustria to the Summer Games as well. A survey of broadcast viewing patterns conducted by the IOC during Athens 2004 revealed that among all countries, only the population of Japan watched more of the Summer Olympics than Austrians. This enthusiasm provides the foundation for a highly positive opinion about hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Salzburg in 2014.

The knowledge of the fan base – along with the tradition of full-house attendance – creates the kind of atmosphere that generates excitement on the ground and on the event broadcast.

Public support is strong and growing. Prior to the launch of the bid, in April of 2005, anon-binding plebiscite drew 60% support across the State of Salzburg in a vote on thequestion: “Should Salzburg bid for the 2014 Olympic Winter Games?” Within a month of the launch of the bid, a national poll revealed signifi cant increases in support. In August, 2005, Gallup Austria, a branch of the world‘s leading consumer research fi rm, conducted an independent survey of 1000 Austrians in a random sampling of people 14 and older. Inanswer to the question “Are you in favour/opposition of hosting the Olympic Winter Games in Salzburg?” 72% of all Austrians responded positively while support remained stable at 60% in the State of Salzburg. The survey also revealed that Austrians under the age of 30 are the strongest supporters of the bid at 87% and in the student population the numberreaches 90%. These numbers are particularly encouraging given the goal of the bid toengage the youth of the nation in the Olympic dream.

Historically, Austrians and the people of Salzburg have rallied behind Olympic bids. In 1996, the fi rst binding referendum about whether Salzburg should bid for the Olympic WinterGames produced a solid 70% vote in favour across the State of Salzburg. In its 2010Evaluation Commission surveys, the IOC reported total support for hosting the Games in Salzburg at 78% nationally and 76% within Salzburg.

Similar levels of support are expected during the 2014 bid campaign.

There is no major organised opposition to hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Salzburg. The goal of the bid committee is to engage all parties with an interest in the Games – or a concern about them – in a meaningful discussion.

All three levels of government are fully committed to the bid of Salzburg 2014. At a summitmeeting in Salzburg on 27 June 2005, Dr. Wolfgang Schüssel, the Chancellor of Austria;Gabriele Burgstaller, the Governor of the State of Salzburg; and Dr. Heinz Schaden, theMayor of Salzburg, affixed their signatures – along with that of Austrian NOC President and IOC Member Dr. Leo Wallner – to the Salzburg 2014 Olympic Winter Games Multi PartyAgreement. This agreement publicly formalized the cooperation and support of the three levels of government for the 2014 Olympic bid and the hosting of the Games. The agreement also sets forth and summarizes the government’s commitment to all the requisite financial and operational guarantees required by the IOC. While the agreement itself is attached, it outlines the following principles and obligations:

· Identifies the seven “Shareholders” responsible for funding the bid and the Games as theFederal Government of Austria, the State of Salzburg, the City of Salzburg and, collectively, the Municipalities of the snow sport venue communities of Altenmarkt, Bischofshofen,Flachau and Radstadt*

· Establishes future OCOG funding commitments and percentages from Shareholders at 120 million USD

· Provides a guarantee that three of the Shareholders – the Federal Government of Austria, the State and the City of Salzburg or the respective venue municipalities – will underwrite the Non-OCOG costs of development of the permanent sports venues at 33.3% or one-third each

· Ensures that the Federal Government of Austria will provide all necessary security, medical and other government-related services at no cost to the OCOG.

· Establishes guarantees and percentages among shareholders for covering any shortfall in funding by the OCOG, with the Federal Government of Austria and the State of Salzburg taking the lead

The appropriate covenant signed by the Chancellor of Austria is attached.

The appropriate guarantee signed by the President of the Austrian Olympic Committee and the Mayor of the City of Salzburg is attached.

The bid committee is structured under Austrian law as a limited liability company(Salzburg Winterspiele 2014 GmbH). It is comprised of a group of public and privateshareholders who invested the capital necessary to underwrite the bid campaign. On 27 June 2005, these shareholders signed a Multi-Party Agreement that established theirownership and obligations through the hosting of the Games. That agreement is includedin the package accompanying this Questionnaire and is referenced and defined inGovernment Support and OWG Budget themes.

The entire bid process will be conducted under the guidance of a Supervisory Board which is comprised of representatives from the Austrian Olympic Committee, the Federal, State and City governments and various business, sport and cultural entities. In his capacity as Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Dr. Heinz Schaden, Mayor of the City of Salzburg, oversees the bid.

While the Supervisory Board ensures the appropriate involvement and support of all levels of government, the day-to-day management of the bid and the conceptual direction of the game plan have been driven by proven sports executives. In fact, the management team of the bid is comprised of veteran sports professionals who have decades of experience in all facets of event management and organisation:

· The Secretary General of the Austrian Olympic Committee Dr. Heinz Jungwirth, a 25-year veteran of Olympic Games and team preparation, plays a key role in overseeing planning and International Relations to ensure the needs of the NOC and the perspective of the athletes are effectively addressed.

· CEO Anton Schutti, who spent two decades with leading winter sport equipmentmanufacturers on the front lines of athletic performance, ensures a continuing focus on the athlete experience. For the last five years, he served as Executive Director of theAustrian Sport Foundation, helping elite athletes achieve optimum performance.

· Bid Operations Director, Rudolf Höller, has held leading roles in the organisation ofnumerous major winter sport events, most recently as Secretary General of the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2005 in Oberstdorf/Germany. Höller is a FIS expert recognised for delivering quality at every level of event organisation and management.

· Games Plan Director, Gernot Leitner, spent 15-years as a professional volleyball playerbefore launching an architectural practice focused on sport venue design. After working on Salzburg’s 2010 bid, Leitner took the lead in redesigning and improving the game plan to match the recommendations of the IOC’s 2010 Evaluation Commission Report.

In selecting this management team, the Supervisory Board of Salzburg 2014 established a commitment to sport and the quality of the athlete experience as its chief priority.

There are no legal obstacles to the organisation of the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in the Republic of Austria. In fact, sport is of such a high level of importance in Austriathat the national portfolio is managed at the federal level directly out of the Office of the Chancellor in his role as the Minster of Sport.

Existing laws, regulations and the legal framework in Austria are sufficient to protect the rights and interests of the International Olympic Committee and those of a possible future Organising Committee. Laws regarding trademark protection and anti-doping regulations are currently sufficient. Nevertheless they are periodically updated and may be updated again prior to the 2014 Games should it be necessary to strengthen Austria’s position in these fields.

There is no requirement to hold a referendum in order to host the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in the Republic of Austria.

Other than trademark protection and anti-doping laws, which are national, all sporting laws in Austria are regionally legislated and governed. The national laws are administered by the federal government under the Chancellor in his function as Minister of Sport.

The Anti-Doping-Convention of the Council of Europe (CE) was ratified on 8 August 1991 with Austria as one of the first countries to adopt and apply the tenets of the Convention. Additional protocols to the CE Convention were ratified in Austria by federal law BGBl. III Nr. 14/2005.

A series of Austrian laws including these recently enacted regulations aim to combat the use of artificial stimulants or doping substances in sports at all levels. The strength of Austria’s national stand against doping is also reflected in federal laws and amendments regulatingthe use of pharmaceutical, medical drugs and prescription medicines, especially thelegislations of BGBl. I Nr. 33/2002 and BGBl. I Nr. 35/2004. In addition, special prohibitions are provided in the Anti-Doping Regulations of the Austrian Federal Sport Organisation.

Yes. As the basis for its battle against doping in sport, the Austrian Anti-Doping-Committee(AADC) signed and accepted the World Anti-Doping-Code approved by the WADAFoundation Board on 5 March 2003 and further agreed on 24 February 2004 to implement the applicable provisions of the Code in its policies, statutes, rules and regulations. Inkeeping with these agreements, the AADC has successfully completed the WADAInternational Project Team (IPT II) program and has published in Austria the InternationalStandard of the 2005 Prohibited Drug List in full conformity with the decision of theMonitoring Group of CE (reference BGBl. III Nr. 36/2005).

The AADC originally signed a contract with WADA in 2002, entitling the AADC to conduct WADA-testing, including out-of-competition, pre-competition and competition testing in Austria and its neighbouring countries. This contract was most recently renewed on 4 May 2005.

The AADC also gained accreditation within the framework of ISO 9001:2000, which was most recently renewed on 16 June 2005. Austria also signed the Copenhagen Declaration in 2003.

The principal financing of the bid of Salzburg 2014 is set forth and guaranteed in the Multi-Party Agreement of 27 June 2005. In that agreement, the Federal Government of Austria, the State of Salzburg, the City of Salzburg and the venue municipalities of the snow sports (Altenmarkt, Bischofshofen, Flachau and Radstadt)*, committed to provide a total of 5,52 million USD or approximately 65% of the bid’s 8,52 million USD budget. The additional 3,0 million USD in funding will be raised through the marketing of bid sponsorships and from private investors as the chart below indicates.

Given the recent history of spending on Olympic bids, both winter and summer, Salzburg recognizes that this bid budget is relatively modest. Nevertheless, we believe it is a realistic budget that reflects the strength of Salzburg’s existing capital infrastructure. The decision to set the bid budget at this level was based on several reasons. First of all, this is Salzburg’s second Winter Games bid and a good portion of the 2014 planning is based upon workaccomplished during the 2010 bid. Second, Salzburg’s existing venues and infrastructure preclude the need for the extensive architectural design and engineering expenses that would otherwise escalate the planning costs of this bid. Third, this budget is in line with the IOC’s ongoing quest to control the costs of the Games and by implication the bids. Finally, Salzburg intends to apply strong organisational disciplines to optimize the bid investment to deliver the strongest possible hosting package to the IOC and the Olympic Family.

The Candidature of Salzburg for the XXII Olympic Winter Games and XI Paralympic Winter Games will be financed as follows:

Public (Federal Government, State of Salzburg, City of Salzburg, Altenmarkt, Bischofshofen, Flachau and Radstadt)

5,52 Mil USD

Private Investors (Bergbahnen Flachau) 0,6 Mil USD

Sponsors 2,4 Mil USD

8,52 Mil USD**

The expenditure of funding through the applicant and candidate phases is anticipated to flow as follows:

Bid Development July 04 – July 05 0,72 Mil USD

Applicant Phase August 05 – June 06 2,7 Mil USD

Candidate Phase July 06 – September 07 5,1 Mil USD

8,52 Mil USD**

* The municipality of Altenmarkt includes the venue of Zauchensee. The Bavarian venue of Schönau am Königssee (bob, luge and skeleton) is on the Supervisory Board but notparticipating in bid financing.

** Originally calculated in Euros. Exchange rate adopted: 1 = 1,20 USD (as of 1 November 2005).

Page 13: Salzburg 2014 Applicant File

If Salzburg is successful in its bid campaign, a combination of private and public fi nancingwill be used to underwrite the costs of organising the 2014 Olympic Winter Games andParalympic Winter Games.

In the private sector, Salzburg will count on its share of revenues from the IOC’s TOPMarketing Programme and the IOC’s sale of International Broadcast Rights to the Games. The OCOG will raise the majority of additional private funding from ticket sales, licensing,an Olympic coin programme, private contributions and, most importantly, a NationalSponsorship Marketing Programme structured in tiers for National Partners, NationalSponsors, Supporters and Suppliers. (see question III – 10, page 27)

In the public sector, major fi nancial commitments and guarantees from the FederalGovernment of Austria, the State of Salzburg, the City of Salzburg and the Municipalities of the snow venues (Altenmarkt, Bischofshofen, Flachau and Radstadt)* are already in place.

Collectively called the “Shareholders,” these seven government entities entered into a fully binding Multi-Party Agreement on 27 June 2005 that sets forth:

1) the terms of their fi nancial commitments to organising the Games through the OCOG,2) their commitment to underwrite the costs of essential venue construction outside the

OCOG budget,3) their guarantees to cover any fi nancial shortfalls in the OCOG’s development and

acquisition of additional revenues to fund the Games, and 4) their commitment to provide start-up funding for the OCOG in the amount of 120 million

USD**.

In addition, the Agreement stipulates that three of the Shareholders – the FederalGovernment, the State and the City of Salzburg or the respective venue municipalities – will underwrite the Non-OCOG costs of development of the permanent sports venues outlined in the plan in equal shares of 33.3% or one-third each.

Within the Agreement, the Federal Government has also committed to provide all necessarysecurity, medical and other Government-related services at no cost to the OCOG.

The Agreement further stipulates that any shortfalls in funding – although not anticipated – will be guaranteed and covered by additional revenues from the Shareholders with the Federal Government and the State of Salzburg taking the lead.

* The municipality of Altenmarkt includes the venue of Zauchensee. The Bavariangovernment and venue community of Schönau am Königssee (luge, bob and skeleton) are committed to share in the provision of all necessary guarantees, security and funding for the Games through their role on the bid’s Supervisory Board.

** Originally calculated in Euros. Exchange rate adopted: 1 = 1,20 USD (as of 1 November 2005)

Page 14: Salzburg 2014 Applicant File

In addition to the IOC’s TOP programme and broadcasting revenues, Salzburg 2014 willorganise a national marketing programme designed to generate revenues from thefollowing sources in the indicated amounts:

National partners, sponsors, supporters and suppliers 200 USD*

Ticketing 115 USD

Licensing 18 USD

Other sources:

Lotteries, stamps, coin programme 30 USD

Donations 20 USD

Disposal of assets 35 USD

These figures have been calculated on a reasonable basis in close cooperation with theAustrian Olympic Committee and are based on the following considerations.

The Austrian passion for winter sport is reflected in an enduring tradition of corporatesponsorship for events, teams, and athletes in this sector. The honour of staging theOlympic and Paralympic Winter Games would further strengthen this trend through all major product categories, supporter and supplier tiers. The joint marketing programme of Salzburg 2014 and the Austrian Olympic Committee from 2009 to 2016 will take fulladvantage of the international prestige of the Olympic Winter Games to maximise revenue potential for the OCOG and achieve the goals represented by the forecasts above.

The ticket sales estimated above, which are calculated on the planned venue capacities, an achievable pricing model and traditional sell out rates, have been developed with three specific factors in mind:

1) Austria’s very active and supportive winter sports fan base, 2) the geographic location of Salzburg in the heart of Europe and 3) Salzburg’s international appeal as a world-class brand.

The fact that world-championship level events traditionally sell out in Austria has beenfactored in as well. Salzburg’s existing transportation infrastructure ensures convenientaccess for all spectators to the venues in the plan.

The basis of the revenue forecasts for the sale of licensed products, the commemorative coin programme, stamps, lotteries, as well as donations is the high traditional interest inwinter sports in general and the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in particular in Austria and its neighbouring countries. The disposal of assets by the OCOG post-Games will yield a modest revenue stream as well.

All of these figures are projected with a high degree of confidence.

To reduce the need for capital construction, the Salzburg 2014 game plan is based on the maximum use of existing venues. In total, there are 11 venues in the plan: 8 (73%) existing,2 new and 1 temporary. Among the 8 existing venues, all of which currently serve asworld-cup level sites, 2 require permanent work and 2 require the installation of temporary sports facilities. Among the 2 new venues, 1 is planned and 1 is additional for the Games. The temporary venue and the 2 temporary installations at existing venues are listed on the chart.

Page 16: Salzburg 2014 Applicant File

The competition venues are located in two primary clusters aligned along the A1 and A10Autobahns. The ice events are grouped within a 6km radius in the City of Salzburg. The snow events are grouped within a 12 km radius in the Snow Cluster approximately45 minutes south of the city. The sliding events are basically in-between the ice and snowclusters, 25 minutes from the city of Salzburg. All venues were selected because of theirproximity to the village(s), their access by highway and rail and – in the case of the eight existing venues –their established performance standards.

Page 17: Salzburg 2014 Applicant File

Salzburg is presenting a game plan with one Olympic Village designed to unite all thecompetitors in the 2014 Olympic Winter Games. While the Olympic Village in Salzburg will have the capacity to host all teams in 4,500 beds at a location only 55 minutes from the most distant venue, there will be an optional Snow Village with 1,500 beds between Radstadt and Altenmarkt for those competitors and teams that prefer to stay close to their competitionvenues and training sites.

The Salzburg Olympic Village will occupy the 30 hectare park-styled grounds of theSchwarzenberg Military Academy (120 hectar in total), a prestigious, secure and self-contained national facility that is scheduled to undergo a massive redesign and renovationdriven by the 2014 Olympic calendar and planning team. The Village sits just off theA1 Autobahn with an average distance to the ice venues of 5 km and an average distance to the snow venues of 60 km. The sliding venue is 27 km away. The Village accommodations will feature modern alpine wooden architecture designed as zero emission houses.

The optional Snow Village will be a full service community of classic wooden alpine houses centred around the enchanting 1,000 year old Tandalier Castle between Radstadt andAltenmarkt, a mountain village at the heart of the snow venues. The average distance to the snow venues will be 10 minutes with the most distant at 20 minutes.

The Legacy of the Villages

The design of the new Olympic Village in Salzburg is part of the long-term re-development plan of the Schwarzenberg Military Academy. After the Games, the capacity of beds will be reduced to meet the long-term needs of the owners.

Some of the classic alpine houses of the optional Snow Village will become part of a sports and culture legacy programme run under the auspices of the Austrian Olympic Committee. Others will be sold as weekend houses or second homes at market rates to recoup costs.

The financing of the Salzburg Olympic Village will be jointly funded by the FederalGovernment (permanent buildings) and the OCOG (temporary structures, extensions, leases).

The temporary structures of the Snow Village will be paid for by the OCOG. The existing facilities at the Snow Village site – the Castle, houses, and indoor sports facilities – will be renovated by the Ministry of Education, which owns the property.

Other than the Snow Village, which is an optional facility, no alternative accommodationis required. However, the strength of the hospitality infrastructure in Salzburg and itssurrounding region – the depth and diversity of hotel properties – offers additionalaccommodations in all categories if required.

Recognising the critical importance of a single media centre for the logistical demandsof the Games, Salzburg will house all IBC and MPC operations in a Main MediaCentre (MMC) in the “Salzburg Messezentrum,” which is the city’s existing convention andexhibition centre. The facility consists of 15 halls that enclose more than 40.000m² and can easily be expanded up to 70.000m². The facility is directly linked by ramps to the six-lane A1Autobahn and is less than 5 km from the Olympic Village with equally convenientdistances to all venues. Three competition venues - the Curling Hall, the Figure Skating/Short Track Arena and the Speed Skating Oval - which make up the “Olympic Ice Park” are withinwalking distance of the MMC, which is also in the Park.

The outdoor space at the property brings the total available footprint to more than 150.000m² for all media operations. Parking lots and parking buildings on the property currently provide parking spaces for more than 3.500 cars. After the Games, the improved facility will continue to serve as Salzburg’s main convention and exhibition centre.

Any permanent construction required for the MMC will be paid for by the City of Salzburg, the State of Salzburg and the Chamber of Commerce, who jointly own the facility and itsproperties. The OCOG will be responsible for all the Olympic installations, overlay/fit outs, any required temporary buildings and any facility rental fees or related costs.

For symbolic and practical reasons, Salzburg has chosen the 900-year old Hohen Salzburg Castle as the reference point for the centre of the Olympic Winter Games. Visible from all over the city, the Castle sits like a crown on top of the Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that will serve as the celebration centre of the Olympic Winter Games. The IOC hotels,the Medals Plaza and the Salzburg Volksgarten, the Ice Hockey Arena 2, are all within a1 km radius of the Castle. From this centre point, major transportation routes radiate to all key Olympic sites. The Olympic Village, the Olympic Ice Park (three venues), the MMC, the Olympic Stadium and Salzburg International Airport W. A. Mozart are all within a 10 km radius of the Castle.

The appropriate convenant signed by the tourist board of the Austrian Chamber ofCommerce is attached.

As an international destination that draws tourists for sport and culture all year around,Salzburg enjoys the benefi ts of a highly developed hospitality industry. The currentcapacity of rooms within a 50 km radius of the city exceeds the requirements of the Olympic Winter Games in every category. With a history of hospitality in alpine and cultural events that dates back 100 years, Salzburg adds a unique dimension of style and intimacy to thatcapacity, offering the Olympic Family a welcoming experience worthy of the greatesttraditions in winter sport. To meet all the requirements of the IOC’s host city contract,Salzburg has already begun the extensive process of securing price guarantees for all the hotels in the plan and beyond.

In response to the IOC’s evaluation and guidance during the 2010 bid campaign,Salzburg 2014 has designed three distinct Media Villages into its plan to enhance the level ofconvenience for the accredited media while alleviating some of the logistical demands of media transportation.

Approximately 70% of the 10,000 accredited media representatives at the Games will be housed in existing hotels and clusters of family-owned and operated guest houses chosento deliver an authentic Austrian hospitality experience. The diversity and proximity of Salzburg’s hotel infrastructure offers a variety of budget options and location convenience.

Nevertheless, in the interests of providing the very best accommodations plan for all the accredited media – and taking full advantage of the compact nature of the Salzburg plan to make daily transport as convenient as possible – 3,290 Media Village beds will be grouped in three locations:

The Media Village “South” will offer 1,900 beds in an existing site just south of the city. This convenient location puts the distance to the MMC and the “Olympic Ice Park” at about 15 minutes to the north, with the snow venues about 35 minutes to the south. After the Games, the renovated apartments will be converted into flats and university housing for students.

The “Campus” Media Village will offer 400 beds in student housing on the campus of the Fachhochschule Urstein in a location just minutes from the Media Village “South”. Theproximity of the two Villages will help alleviate the logistical demands of media transport. After the Games, students will move back into their housing.

The Media Village “North” will offer 990 beds in a temporary village just north of the city of Salzburg. This Village lies approximately 5 minutes from the MMC and the “Olympic Ice Park” and 15 minutes from the Medals Plaza in the centre of the city. After the Games, the housing will be dismantled and sold to recover costs.

All media accommodations for the Paralympics will be provided in existing hotels and bed & breakfasts.

The Media Village “South” is part of an existing military academy, which the OCOG will rent from the Federal Ministry of Defence Salzburg’s long-term development plans call for the conversion of this property, which features a wonderful old park-style campus, into new student housing, apartments and a variety of urban projects. The renovations will be covered by a combination of private and public finance and the OCOG will rent the space during the Games.

The “Campus” Media Village will be comprised of existing student housing that will berented by the OCOG during the Games since the students are on holiday for the month of February.

The Media Village “North” will be financed by the OCOG. The costs of the temporarystructures will be partially recaptured through the sale of the facilities after the Games.

The City of Salzburg and the mountain region located directly to the south enjoy thebenefi ts of a modern, high-capacity transportation infrastructure. Served by an inter-national airport on the outskirts of the city, Salzburg and the 2014 venue clusters areserved by an effectively integrated system of autobahns (A1 and A10), an extensive network of surface streets, and a thoroughly developed passenger rail system (including the regional S-Bahn, the new high speed mass transit system).

Page 21: Salzburg 2014 Applicant File

Salzburg is fortunate to have an international airport at the heart of the plan. Located only5 km from the city centre, Salzburg International Airport W. A. Mozart will be the mainairport for the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. The airport currently ranks as the largest and busiest winter charter airport in the European Union, reflecting the high concentration of winter sport resorts in the region. Its runways accommodate the largest aircrafts such as Boeing 747s and Airbus 340s.

It was selected primarily because it sits at the centre of the plan, within 5 km of the Olympic Village, the MMC, the Olympic Family Hotel in the Old Town – and also because it features brand new facilities. Salzburg International Airport W. A. Mozart is conveniently connected to all the major transport routes that run through Salzburg, including the A1 Westautobahn to Vienna, the A10 Tauernautobahn to the snow region/venues to the south and to theGerman A8 to Munich. The most distant snow venue at Zauchensee is 55 minutes fromthe airport.

In 2005, work was completed on a new and modern second terminal that increasedpassenger capacity to 40,000 people a day. The new terminal is part of an 84 million USDexpansion and upgrade programme that will increase the runway size, enhance security,upgrade the roadways for ingress and egress, and expand the parking deck. The expansion programme will be complete by 2010, giving Salzburg one of the most modern internationalairports in Europe in the run up to the Games.

The dimensions, management and operations of the airport are well equipped to meet thedemands of the Olympic Winter Games. Airport management is experienced and efficientat accommodating the demands of major winter – and summer events – and has thecapacity to deal with direct flights from all continents. Salzburg International AirportW. A. Mozart is particularly adept at handling private and charter flights.

Salzburg International Airport W. A. Mozart meets the full capacity requirements for the Olympic Winter Games and is therefore the only official Games airport in our plan.Salzburg and its surrounding regions are also serviced by two other major internationalairports within a 300 km range: Munich’s Franz Josef Strauß Airport and the ViennaInternational Airport. While neither figures into the 2014 planning, they can be conveni-ent access points for tourists and spectators since both are linked to Salzburg’s centre bypassenger rail.

As the following maps indicate, the existing transport infrastructure in the city and the mountains offers more than suffi cient capacities to host the Olympic Winter Games. The cluster maps attached and the sliding venue map clearly illustrate the proximity andconvenience of the venue groupings and the redundant accessibility by road and rail.

Please note that the additional and planned infrastructure indicated on the maps are for the most part upgrades to existing roads and rail systems. We have therefore taken the liberty to use the red and green color codes as outlines on existing blue lines where additional and planned work will be done.

As a result of its historic location as a European crossroads, Salzburg enjoys the benefits of an advanced and expanding high-capacity autobahn and rail transportation infrastructure that is unusual for a city with a population of only 150,000 residents. The selection of venues in the 2014 plan takes full advantage of this existing transportation system and ensuresrapid and easy access to all venues on high-capacity highways.

The current major transport challenge involves weekend summer holiday traffic congestionthat creates bottlenecks and delays on the A10 Autobahn near the Tauerntunnel.This challenge is currently being addressed on several fronts. First, a new two-lanetunnel is currently under construction. It will be completed by 2010 and is expected to alleviate the congestion well into the future. Second, Austria’s Ministry of Transportationand the State of Salzburg are developing a new S-Bahn rapid rail system that radiates30 km out from Salzburg along three lines to the north, east and south. The S-Bahn startedrunning in 2003 and will be completed in 2010, further alleviating regional traffic.

It is important to note that this challenge has no negative affect on the Winter Games.

In fact, the A1 and A10 Autobahns, along which 73% – 8 of 11 – of Salzburg’s 2014 venues are aligned, are currently capable of supporting capacities of 90,000 vehicles a day. Duringthe summer months, this capacity is more than sufficient except for certain criticalweekends as noted. In the winter months, the highest vehicular capacity counted on theA10 is 17,000 a day, which means the highway has 5.2 times the capacity of its currenthighest winter use.

There are no other major transit challenges of note.

Salzburg has completed a detailed analysis of the transport logistics for the 2014 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, including peak load demands against all participants andconsumer groups. For the core needs of the athletes, team officials, media and IOC VIPs,a traditional system of deploying coaches, vans and dedicated cars has been designed.This Olympic Family Transport System will utilise traffic management techniques andprovide full continuous shuttle services between key Olympic sites and dedicatedOlympic lanes.

Several facts provide insight into the advantages of the Salzburg Olympic Family TransportSystem:

· All venues except Zauchensee (women’s alpine speed events, snowboard),Schönau a. Königsee (luge, bob and skeleton) and the Salzburg Volksgarten (ice hockey)are directly linked to the A1 or A10 Autobahns or are a very short distance off thehighway. The Salzburg Volksgarten is on a major thoroughfare through the city.

· All venues except Zauchensee have multiple access routes in and out. Zauchensee isreached by a single 10 km two-lane road that will be partly expanded before the Games.

· All venues except Flachau (alpine technic events, snowboard), Flachauwinkl (men‘s alpinespeed events, freestyle) and Zauchensee have direct access by commuter trains,including, in some cases the new S-Bahn.

Starting in 2007, the main rail track into the snow region will undergo a planned 150 million USD renovation and upgrade that will yield a high-end speed of 200 km/h and protect the track against water and snow damage.

In Salzburg’s Olympic Public Transport System, spectators, workforce and volunteers will travel to the Olympic sites by a combination of public transit systems and personal vehicles. A general analysis of spectator, volunteer and workforce travel forecasts that approximately 100,000 people will be coming to the Games on the peak day, 50% from the north/west, 25% from the east and 25% from the south. Approximately 60% of these will utilise public transport and 40% will drive themselves or carpool.

To effectively manage the spectator and volunteer load – and to move people from personalvehicles to mass transit – Salzburg has established a Park & Ride Network comprised of14 parking locations, seven in the Ice Cluster with space for 16,000 cars and 550 buses and seven in the Snow Cluster for 12,000 cars and 500 buses. This system has already beendeployed with great success for previous major sporting events in Salzburg.

The compact dimensions of the Salzburg 2014 plan indicate that the normal driving time – from one end of the plan to the other – takes less than one hour. In following therecommendations given in the IOC’s 2010 Evaluation Commission Report, Salzburg 2014 eliminated all long-distances and effectively reduced athlete travel times to a high level of convenience. The average travel times to the ice venues and the sliding venue from the Olympic Village are 10 and 25 minutes respectively. The average travel time to the snow venues from the optional Snow Village is 10 minutes.

The Federal Ministry of the Interior in Vienna is responsible for security in Austria,providing, in effect, the structural security hierarchy for the single chain of commandpreferred by the IOC. The authority of the Ministry extends to monitoring adherence to law and order, preserving the public peace and securing all events of major internationalsignificance. If Salzburg is successful in gaining the honour of hosting the XXII Olympic Winter Games and XI Paralympic Winter Games the ultimate responsibility for security would reside with the Ministry of the Interior.

Within the hierarchy of the Ministry of the Interior, the General Director for Public Security would exercise national authority over the security operations of the Olympic Games. In his or her traditional capacity, the Director would have the authority to deploy the nation’s military in support of the security operations of the Games. In the chain of command of the Ministry, the Security Director for Salzburg would have immediate oversight and work on the planning and implementation effort with the security staff of the OCOG once it was formed.

As a member of the European Union (EU), Austria cooperates in maintaining the safety and security of the European community and enjoys cross-border security cooperation as necessary with all bordering states. For the luge, bob and skeleton venue of Schönau am Königssee, which lies in the neighbouring state of Bavaria, Germany, all Olympicsecurity operations would be effectively extended on the basis of EU protocols.

The core force for securing the Games will be drawn from the Federal Police Force. The Fire Brigade and the Red Cross will support and provide resources for security arrangements as appropriate. For an event such as the Olympic Winter Games, all these resources areguaranteed by regional regulatory law.

The application of the latest security technology, including state-of-the-art legacy systems and best-practices from previous Games will be implemented at the highest standards available by the implementation freeze date for 2014.

Over the last two decades, Austria has secured more than 50 world-cup or world-champion-ship level sporting events with millions of participants without a single major securityepisode. On the international diplomatic front, Austria regularly secures events attended by heads of state, United Nations dignitaries and the executives directing the activities of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). It is worth noting that Salzburg is second only to Vienna in hosting state visits in Austria.

Austria has also effectively secured all meetings surrounding the Presidency of theEuropean Union when held in the past, and, since the nation has the honour of serving in the EU presidency again from January to June in 2006, the Ministry of the Interior will once again provide state-of-the-art security for all visiting dignitaries.

Yes. The current laws in Austria mandate that the Ministry of the Interior provide thenecessary security for events of national importance or international significance, which, in effect, based on the structural hierarchy of the Ministry, ensures a single management structure and chain of command.

The police collaboration with Bavaria is regulated by the Schengen agreements and thePolice Cooperation Law. Although emergency services, such as fire departments, rescue, etc. are in fact under the authority of the respective provinces, disaster control regulations allow for close collaboration with federal authorities so that an efficient management struc-ture is provided.

Although from today’s standpoint the applicable legal situation in Austria is sufficient to meet all conceivable requirements of the Olympic Winter Games, necessary adjustments could be made at both the provincial and federal legislative levels if deemed appropriate or desirable by the IOC and the OCOG.

Salzburg is a green city. The structure of the urban landscape provides a very high standard of living for all residents. As a member of Climate Alliance, the region ofSalzburg has implemented a sustainable strategy for regional development. Public andprivate partners set strong agendas to enforce ecological standards, economicperformance and social cohesion.

The region enjoys an extensive network of recreational infrastructure such as ski slopes, wellness facilities and mountain trails that are well integrated into the natural setting. This existing infrastructure and the related sports facilities reduce the need for new construction and thereby minimise impact on the environment. In fact, 8 of the 11 venues in the plan (73%) are existing.

Almost one-third of the land surface of Salzburg consists of national parks and protectedareas, ensuring high standards for biodiversity and eco-systems. Water supply and treatmentfacilities are state-of-the-art. Over 80% of the electricity for the Salzburg region is supplied by hydro-electric power plants. An advanced uniform system of waste separation anddisposal has been developed on a country-wide basis and one third of all domestic farmers practise organic farming.

The regional strategy for sustainable development results in a variety of ongoing projects such as:

· Public funding for renewable energy use (biomass, solar)· Eco-standards for building and construction (renewable materials, energy standards,

water saving systems)· Extension of public transport systems· Extended management programmes for national parks and nature protection areas· Promotion of regional food produced under organic farming conditions

The following organisations are responsible for the implementation of such projects:

· Austrian Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water Management· Environmental Board of the Federal State of Salzburg· Office of the Salzburg Regional Government· Municipalities of Salzburg City and the venue villages· NGOs for nature protection and sustainable development

In terms of environmental impact, Salzburg benefits immeasurably from its existing sports, transport and accommodations infrastructure. The existing infrastructure in the City and State of Salzburg and in Schönau am Königssee currently support high-capacity sports and tourism and so development requirements are modest and the impact on the environment is minimised.

Part of the selection criteria for the venues and infrastructure deployed in the game plan, including the site of the Olympic Village, sought to reduce environmental impact byconsidering the following requirements:

· Use of minimal environmental impact principles· Close proximity to public transportation infrastructure· Minimal individual motorised traffic during the Games and for post-Game use· Optimal use of renewable construction material such as wood· Eco-standards in construction and energy systems· State-of-the-art logistical arrangements employed for supply and disposal· Strong legacy and use of infrastructure after the Games

Yes. All venues and facilities for the 2014 Olympic Winter Games underwent initialscreening to determine causes for significant impact to the environment. Through this process, all environmentally unsuitable sites were excluded. For the proposed venues in the plan, strict legal guidelines on nature and environmental protection will be applied through detailed planning of all construction and operation activities.

Given the level of assessment at this point, the feasibility of the environmental compatibilityof the plan for 2014 Olympic Winter Games can be guaranteed.

Yes. Austrian laws require strategic environmental assessments at the stage of masterplanning (zoning) and/or Environmental Impact Assessments at the stage of the project planning if significant impacts on environment are possible.

The historic record for the weather patterns during the dates of the Olympic andParalympic Winter Games demonstrates that Salzburg 2014 will provide optimalcompetitive conditions in terms of climate, snow and sunshine. The “inner mountain”region where the snow events are clustered has proven historically reliable in the quality and amount of snowfall on an annual basis for the last 20 years.

Page 29: Salzburg 2014 Applicant File

Austria’s ability to host and organise winter sports events at a world-class level of excellence is a matter of record. The country’s winter sport tradition offers the Olympic Movement proven event management expertise, a trusted and skilled volunteer base, a tried and true venue, transport and hospitality infrastructure and a knowledgeable community of fans that seldom fails to fill the arena.

The heritage of this tradition reaches back more than a century and captures the essentialmagic of winter sport. Austria is proud to offer the Olympic Family the unique brandexperience of this heritage – the unique combination of excellence and intimacy thatcharacterise one of the most enchanting traditions of winter hospitality in the world.

The Salzburg City arenas and the Salzburg State snow venues stage numerous world cup races, world championships and other international sporting events every year. In fact, over the last six years – as the list below indicates – Austria has hosted international events for six of the seven International Federations of the Olympic Winter Sports.

Austria has a proud tradition of hosting sporting events for disabled athletes. The country supports more than 100 sports clubs for disabled athletes. In addition to annual alpine and nordic world cup races for the disabled, Austria also hosted the Alpine World Ski Champi-onships for the Disabled in 2004.

And last year, Austria gained additional distinction by organising the 2005 WinterUniversiade.

As the list below indicates, event owners have come to trust Austria as a host committedto excellence in organisational planning and management. Athletes have come to respectAustria for creating an atmosphere of charming hospitality that compliments itsoperational efficiency. Salzburg 2014 is committed to utilise this skill and experience toserve the Olympic Movement and become the finest winter partner possible for the IOC.
