A survey conducted by the National University Economics Department and their
Development Research Center shows that 95 per cent of Bogotanos are in favour of
Bogota hosting the 2015 Pan American Games. The response came from men and women
in all age groups.
More than 21,000 residents of the city were interviewed between September 13
and October 25.
Only 3.3 per cent said they were not in favour of Bogota hosting the 2015
Games.
The Colombian delegation travelled to Guadalajara Mexico Monday. The delegation
is comprised of representatives from the Colombian and Bogota governments, the
Colombian Olympic Committee, the Colombian National Sports Institute, Bogota
Department of Culture, Recreation and Sports, the Bogota Institute of Recreation
and Sports, as well as representatives from the world of sport, music and
culture.
