Influenced by COVID-19, many large-scale events have to be cancelled or postponed, and the Tokyo Olympic Games is one of them. Previously, the Tokyo Olympic Games had begun to refund tickets, and a large number of people chose to refund tickets.
According to the current data, the global COVID-19 epidemic is not very optimistic, but the situation is still very bad. In the United States alone, the number of people diagnosed in COVID-19 has reached160,000, which is equivalent to a large part of Americans, and it is still rising. It is reported that there are more deaths in COVID-19 than in World War II. There are not too many epidemics in other countries.
If the epidemic situation is properly controlled next year, the Olympic Games should be successfully held, but the cost will still be difficult to recover, because the audience will certainly not be the same as expected. According to media reports, according to the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee, the Olympic Games to be held next year may require an additional budget of 654.38+0.9 billion US dollars. According to local media reports, the new budget includes the cost of designing the refund system and the salary expenses of some local employees, while the new defense expenditure is not included in this budget. If the epidemic prevention expenses around Tokyo are also included, its new budget may be higher, but some sources said that the Japanese government has already determined the specific budget amount.
It is reported that since last month, the Tokyo Olympic Games has opened the Olympic refund system to domestic audiences. After the refund, more than 800 thousand tickets have been received. Although BOCOG said that these tickets will be re-sold in the future, considering the impact of the epidemic, the future ticket sales may not be optimistic. In the new budget plan announced by the media, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government will bear 80 billion yen, the Japanese Government will bear 654.38+05 billion yen, and the rest will be paid by the International Olympic Committee. Japanese Prime Minister Suga Yoshihide also promised at the UN meeting that the Tokyo Olympic Games will be held smoothly next year, and the Japanese government will spare no effort to present a safe and reliable Olympic Games for everyone.
