Tourists will be able to tour around future Beijing Olympic venues while they are still under construction and take pictures with the models from next March. 

The Beijing Tourism Administration is planning to launch a special package to cater for Olympic fans.

Since most of the venues are under construction now, visitors will only have pictures with models of the venues while touring around the construction sites.

The idea has also attracted overseas partners as tourist agencies from Italy, the Philippines and Japan have expressed their willingness to promote the project in their respective countries.
