International First-class Competition in Dalian

       "It has been a competition of the world-class." Yesterday, WTA Dalian Women's Tennis Open closed and both Chinese and foreign players spoke highly of the Dalian’s tournament operation level after comparing more than 50 WTA games every year in the world. The reporter has covered the site inside and outside the sports center these days to reveal the exclusive secret to the readers, how did Dalian win the applause  the players from 23 countries and regions in the world with one tournament?

Convenience: three minutes to reach your places of match, training, rest, eating and stay

       "It’s so convenient."  Occupation players are very familiar with WTA sites, and in some games, it takes the players 20 minutes to go from players’ rest area to the stadium, and 30 minutes or even 1 hour from the hotel to the stadium. In contrast, it takes less than 3 minutes’ drive from the stadium in Dalian to the hotel. At the same time, there are always at least 5 cars waiting to pick up players at the stadium exit.

       What makes players feel comfortable is to reach the places for eating, rest, exercise, fitness, health, match and accommodation all in 3 minutes. This saves a lot of time for the players, so that they can concentrate on training. As we have learned, on the one hand, the competition needs have been taken into account from the beginning of the construction of Dalian Sports Center, facilities are not only completed but also more humane. On the other hand, the player needs are in the first place in the process of running the game, with fully  allocated personnel and vehicles and more attentive service. In order for the players at home and abroad to have in-depth understanding of Dalian, the players are also provided with cars free of charge for going around the city.

Caring: 360 degree of concern to care for you silently

       "Smooth communication", "Nice food", "Comfortable site", "Great hotel", "Hospital people", "Good massage effect". Theses are the most mentioned details when the players at home and abroad evaluated the event service. 

       Tennis is highly the internationalized, and WTA players, referees, coaches communicate basically in  English both inside and outside the stadium. At Dalian, one of the important reasons for them to feel comfortable and easy is that the staffs and volunteers are able to communicate with them in English.

       “Fried food is seldom found on the dinning table." The food and drinks for players are from the catering team of Kempinski. Since players are from many countries and regions, and they have different requirements, not only the safety but also the diversity of food is ensured, with more attention to details.

       "12 training courts, rare in China.”The players need to practice during the tournament, and offers sufficient courts, enabling the high performance of the players. As the main venue, the internal facilities of the central court and the semi final court are same as those of the US Open, meeting international standards, and the site had been refurbished before the game.

       “It does not exceed the club's price standard, does it?”The five star accommodation standards make a foreign players worried. When learned that it does not exceed the standard, she was so happy to take herself a phone  with her mobile phone.

       "I love Dalian, a beautiful city with pleasant climate and nice people." Wang Qiang, a Chinese tennis ace player who ranks 62 in the world,  said in an interview that the event organization and service this time pays more attention to details than the last one, it is very international and she hopes to have the opportunity to play the game again here.
