Boston Bids for 2004 Worldcon

Boston has launched the third bid for the 2004 Worldcon

According to the web-page of MCFI, they are bidding for the 2004 Worldcon to be held in Boston, following their unsuccessful 2001 bid, which moved from Boston to Orlando, and the 1998 Boston bid which was not organised by MCFI.

It appears that the high hotel occupancy in Boston, and the consequent lack of incentive for sites to agree to acceptable room rates, is now easing.

There are already declared bids for 2004 from Charlotte (North Carolina) and "Nieuw Amsterdam" (New York).
