The city of Copenhagen is already gearing up to host the World Outgames in July 2009. The Outgames is a major sporting event for the gay and lesbian community and also a human rights conference and cultural celebration.
Copenhagen’s reputation as a tolerant and fun city helped it win the bid to host the Outgames and Scandinavia’s excellent record of gender equality and respect further qualifies the region to host an event of this magnitude. The city anticipates over 6,000 athletic participants and 10,000 foreign spectators for the sporting events and thousands more visitors for the cultural events and human rights conference.
The participants and visitors will fill Copenhagen’s streets for a full week at the end of July and many tourists will extend their stay both before and after the event. The organizers hope that the Outgames will have a lasting effect on the city, not only by exposing Copenhagen to new visitors who will enjoy the city’s historic attractions and comfortable feel, but also by leaving a more serious impression as a source of inspiration for social change that will radiate out from the city into the global community.
Red Apple Apartments is happy to have one of its cities chosen to host such a great event, but we also recognize the need for accommodation solutions with so many visitors descending on the city at one time. If you are planning on attending the World Outgames next year, we still have several apartments in Copenhagen available for the week. We anticipate being fully booked for that week, however, so we ask apartment owners in Copenhagen to contact us if their apartment is available during the months of July and August. We hope to match as many World Outgames visitors with as many apartment owners as we can through our listing and booking service. We hope to make as many people feel at home as we can in the gracious city of Copenhagen next summer.
