DATELINE: ATLANTA
Visitors scouring Atlanta for Olympic housing need only tap into the Internet to find accommodations. Netlanta, L.L.C., a private, Atlanta-based company, has secured listings for thousands of Atlanta homes for rent in 1996 to put on the World Wide Web. With the recent first disbursement of 1996 Summer Games tickets, the feverish pace to find housing has begun.
An estimated 2 million visitors will travel to Atlanta during the Games, but all of the greater Atlanta area's hotel/motel rooms are already booked; thus private home rentals are the only convenient option for visitors.
Netlanta, "Atlanta's Home On The Internet," provides a comprehensive objective source of Atlanta information - from rentals to restaurants. The web site allows users to electronically narrow their search for housing by price range, location and other preferences as well as actually begin to make reservations by e-mail. The Web site also highlights a variety of areas of interest, including general information about the city, maps, restaurants, transportation, night life, family fun, sports venues and more.
