Accommodations: Hotels are reserved three to four years in advance of the Rugby World Cup 2011 for delegates, sponsors, and sports/media representatives who attend in an official capacity. This coupled with the heavy demand for regular international travel has created a major shortage of all accommodations. Part of the pleasure of travel is choosing what type of property you are looking to stay at. Whatever your travelling style, you'll find great places to stay wherever you want to go.
