Taipei City will allocate NT$19 billion dollars to host the 2019 Asian Games if it wins the bid, the director of the Taipei Sports Office said Monday. Noting that most of the sports stadiums in Taipei City meet international standards, Sun Chin-chuan said the Guandu Sports Park is likely to be chosen as the main venue for the Asian Games, if Taipei wins the hosting rights. It would cost NT$15 billion to renovate and construct pavilions, and another NT$4 billion to plan the program, he estimated. Taipei City's experience in hosting the 21st Summer Deaflympics 2009 should give it an advantage in the bid to host the Asian Games, he added. So far, Vietnam, Singapore, the Philippines, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong, and Dubai have all expressed their intention to bid for the games. The Olympic Council of Asia is scheduled to vote in April 2011 on which country will be awarded the right to host the 2019 Asian Games.
