for Games-time services in key areas around the
Olympic venues. They will also provide services in transport, tourism, shopping

in routine services in Beijing's urban and rural
areas.
The recruitment of volunteers from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan will begin in
March and that of urban and community volunteers will be launched in June,
