The International Olympic Committee (IOC), technology partner Atos and the Organising Committee for the Olympic Games Rio 2016 officially opened the Technology Operations Centre for the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

THE TRINIDAD and Tobago Olympic Committee (TTOC) has announced a partnership with Cartan Global, the exclusive authorised ticket reseller for Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

Rio 2016 have urged National Olympic Committees to seek "non-traditional" forms of accommodation during next year's Olympics and Paralympics, such as rented apartments through their partnership with Airbnb.

Foreigners who usually require a visa to enter Brazil are unlikely to need one during the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games after the country’s Lower House voted to grant a 90-day waiver.
