Istanbul's offer for the Olympic Games is not an ill-considered
gesture or display of ostentation. It is underlined by the belief that
Istanbul has something precious to offer the Olympic Movement but above
all, that it will be transformed and enriched in return. Under the guidance
of this spirit, free travel to and from the Games are offered to the athletes,
officials, and the media members of the developing countries. Already a
fund nearing 75 million US$ have been reserved solely for this purpose.
