How much was lost in the incomplete Tokyo Olympics?

March 24 (Zhang Aolin) There are less than four months left before the opening of the Tokyo Olympics. A few days ago, the Tokyo Olympics officially "closed the door" to overseas audiences. After this unprecedented decision was announced, the New York Times of the United States exclaimed:

This is a major concession in the face of the reality of the pandemic. ”

The 2021 Tokyo Olympics had to be cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. The cancellation of the Tokyo Olympics is undoubtedly a serious economic loss. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the International Olympic Committee, the International Presidential Olympic Committee, the Tokyo Organising Committee for the Olympic Games, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government** and Japan** held a five-party meeting to announce that they could not add overseas spectators to Japan to watch the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics.

As a result, the audience for this Olympics can only be from Japan. This year's decision is undoubtedly worse for the Tokyo Olympics, which have already suffered a postponement. So how much is lost?

First, more than 600,000 tickets were refunded. <>

We all know that Japan is an island country, a small country. Their population is not large, so the number of attendees for the Tokyo Olympics in Japan is also very small, so they mainly come from overseas spectators, because every Olympics is very lively and full of enthusiasm for competitive competitions.

A ticket-buying viewer named Blaney even called himself "grief-stricken". Because his 74-year-old father wanted to live in the Olympics 40 years ago, he originally planned to make his father, who already suffers from Alzheimer's disease, dream come true this year, but now it seems that this long-cherished wish may never be realized.

Second, the disappointment of athletes. <>

We all know that the Olympic Games is a competitive event, held on a global scale, and we welcome athletes from all over the world, all of whom are selected from all fields to compete on the same stage on the Olympic Games, and we compete on the principle of friendship first and competition second. However, now that the Tokyo Olympics have been cancelled due to the pandemic, athletes are facing less shouts from the spectators and have to self-isolate to compete. This is undoubtedly a test of the athlete's condition.

With the one-year postponement of the conference, there was a huge amount of money to be spent on renewing the conference and taking new anti-epidemic measures. At present, the total amount of expenses for the conference has increased to one trillion yen. As the Tokyo Organizing Committee has been stretched, about 15 billion yen of this is even borne by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government**.

The direct economic loss is about $6 billion. In order to prepare for the Tokyo Olympics, Japan spent seven years investing trillions of yen, about 85.8 billion yuan, in long-term infrastructure. This figure does not include the cost of moving marathon and walking events from Tokyo to Sapporo to escape the summer heat.

More than 60 million tickets were refunded. Expert**: The economic loss will exceed 150 billion yen. If you don't receive overseas spectators, you lose not only tickets, but also the hearts of athletes. The expectation of a large number of overseas audiences.

What is lost is actually money, and it has also lost the entire manpower and material resources, which is really a heavy loss, it can be said that I haven't earned a penny, and I have to post money backwards, which is really miserable

I think the losses are very large, and they can't be measured in money. It's also very disappointing.

Of course, the damage was very serious, and it was hoped that the Olympics would boost the local economy, but there were no people from other countries to participate.

I think it's going to be a lot of money, because the building site costs a lot of money, and the financial loss is very serious if they don't let the audience see it.

Personally, I think that the reason why the Tokyo Olympics will lose more than 150 billion yen is that the Tokyo Olympics used to build a large number of venues and wanted to recoup the cost by earning money for tourists.

I think that in order to host the Olympic Games, we need to build a sports stadium first, which requires a lot of upfront investment, but if we delay it for a year, the venue needs to be repaired and maintained, but it cannot be opened for business, so there will be losses.

The first point of loss is actually that no one goes to **, because of special circumstances can not let everyone participate, the second point is that you can't go sightseeing, then no one buys tickets, then you will lose a lot of money, and the third point of loss is actually in the process of building the entire Olympic Games, so you need to spend a lot of money, which is a waste.

I think the main reason for this is that there will be no foreign tourists, and Japan's tourism industry will be hit and cause a lot of losses.

The construction cost of the venue is not through the Olympic Games ticket sales can recover the cost, the holding of the Olympic Games is mainly dependent on other tourists to drive the local economy, this wave of people do not come, the venue is relatively white, relying on the end of the Olympic Games to open to collect admission tickets is not very realistic, basically the construction of the venue funds even if it is wasted.

Originally, the public facilities built for the Olympics were also considered an expense.

But from the national level, the loss of 8.9 billion is still a bit nonsense, the budget should be included in the expenditure on public facilities, there is no concept of loss.

According to Japan (NHK), on the evening of the 20th local time, the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee officially announced after talks with the International Olympic Committee and other five parties that the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games this summer will not receive overseas spectators, so tickets purchased by foreign residents will be refunded.

According to the estimates of Nobuhide Kiuchi, an economist at Japan's Nomura Research Institute, the Tokyo Olympics will not receive overseas spectators, causing economic losses of more than 150 billion yen (about 8.9 billion yuan).

Toshiro Muto, CEO of the Tokyo Organising Committee of the Olympic Games, said at a press conference on the same day that about 600,000 tickets for the Olympics and 300,000 tickets for the Paralympics were purchased by overseas people, and the Tokyo Olympics organizers will refund these tickets. However, it is worth noting that if overseas withdrawals are not digested by local residents, ticket losses could reach tens of billions of yen.

Experts said that the losses caused by the holding of the Tokyo Olympics in the open space mainly cover the consumption expenditure of participants and spectators, the sales revenue of various Olympic peripheral goods, the cost of international video production and transmission, and the cost of enterprise market activities.

The main loss of the Tokyo Olympics is the loss of ticket revenue and other consumption expenditures for foreign participants in the Olympic Games, after all, the Olympic Games can drive a country's economic development and social consumption index.

The Tokyo Olympics will not receive overseas spectators, which will cause economic losses of more than 150 billion yen (about 8.9 billion yuan).

It is reported that Toshiro Muto, CEO of the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee, said at a press conference on the same day that about 600,000 Olympic tickets have been purchased by overseas people, and 300,000 Paralympic tickets have been ordered, and the organizers of the Tokyo Olympics will refund these tickets. However, it is worth noting that if overseas refunds cannot be absorbed by local residents, ticket losses can be as high as tens of billions of yen.

Venue facilities and publicity. In the Tokyo Olympics, Japan has invested a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, but due to the impact of the epidemic, it will not be able to recover its costs in the end, let alone make a profit.

I think this loss is due to the construction of venues, the improvement of infrastructure, the basic support facilities for sports villages and athletes, and the guarantee of a large number of personnel funds.

Because foreign visitors were prohibited from visiting, and there were no spectators, he lost more than 150 billion yen.

It is because a lot of money was invested in the early stage of this Olympic Games, and the Olympic Games were held this time in the form of closing the doors, so they will not invite spectators from other countries, and the economic losses are relatively serious.

The reason for the twists and turns of the Tokyo Olympics is that there is a certain crisis in Japan's economic turmoil, and in addition to the impact of the new coronavirus, the Tokyo Olympics cannot sell spectator tickets to the public.

Because the Tokyo Olympics was boycotted by the Japanese people due to the epidemic, and the chief planning director of the first Olympic Games has resigned, there are many twists and turns, and there are many difficulties.

The main reason is that this year's situation is not very good, resulting in various situations always happening, so this Olympics is also relatively bumpy.

Mainly affected by the current general environment, the epidemic is why many aspects of the work are impossible, and the cavity is rotten and has also caused a great restriction on people's viewing of the game.

Personally, I think the reason why Japan has lost so much money and insists on holding the Olympics:

Japan is really investing too much in this Olympics, both materially and spiritually, first of all, materially! The Winter Olympics were already the most expensive in history before the postponement, and after the postponement, Japan will have to spend nearly 10 billion yuan more. In total, Japan invested more than 150 billion yuan in this Olympic Games, not only that, but Japan was originally going to carry out some infrastructure construction, and because it was going to host the Olympic Games, Japan ** said, just do this first concentrate these infrastructure construction in Tokyo and its vicinity, build it, the Olympics will be done, make money, and then use this money to repair other cities, other cities agreed, as a result, if the Olympics can't be held, then, Japan** It will face a huge financial hole, not only the more than 150 billion yuan for hosting the Olympic Games, but more importantly, the commitment to the infrastructure construction of other cities will also be counted, and the total amount will far exceed 150 billion yuan, which is simply an unbearable burden for Japan's finances, so Japan cannot cancel the Tokyo Olympics, because even if the Tokyo Olympics do not have a single spectator, it can generate some benefits for Japan, even if it is a loss, at least it is a loss, not so much.

Secondly, the Olympic Games are the best place to show the character of a countryJapan was shown through an Olympics after the end of World War II, and now Japan urgently needs to host an Olympics to inspire the people of Japan after 40 years of loss. It was supposed to be a great place to boost morale and show off the Japanese style of the new era. If the Olympics are not held, it will be a huge blow to the Japanese, and it can be said that the Tokyo Olympics will carry too much for Japan, and there is no politician in Japan who can withstand the political pressure brought about by the cancellation of the Olympic Games.

I think that since it has cost so much, it is imperative to hold the Olympics. This involves many factors, including the economy.

Because the opportunity to host the Olympics did not come easily. Holding the Olympics is a way to show your national strength. Therefore, Japan would rather lose money than hold it.

Because the Olympics are not only an economic event, but also a display and symbol of a country's image, if Japan escapes by postponing or terminating the event, it will certainly be ridiculed by the international community.

It's because this competition is a world-class event, and it has already lost a lot of money in the early stage, so it must be held.

I think it's probably because the Olympics won't have the opportunity to be missed, so they keep holding it even if they lose money.

Because hosting the Olympic Games is a symbol of a country's comprehensive strength, it can attract the attention of the world.

Because if they don't do it, they will prepare in vain this time, and they may lose even more, and this is an international event, which must be held, otherwise for athletes, their sports career will be just a few years.

I may think that such an opportunity was won with great difficulty, and I want to show my country's ability.

The Olympic Games will be held because they will establish Tokyo's image and status in the international community.

Because hosting the Olympics can enhance the country's international influence, he wants to hold this Olympics no matter what.

This is because if the Olympics are not held, the economic damage will be even more serious, and Japan will become a discredited country.

The opening of the Olympic Games shows that a country has the ability to win the attention of the people of the world and is a symbol of a country's comprehensive strength.

Because being able to host the Olympic Games in my own country proves that this is the progress of the country's sports undertakings. This is also the main reason, why we should resolutely hold the Olympics.

Because the Olympics are very important, it is very beneficial for the world to know about their country.

Because Japan does not want to lose its trust with the world and wants to prove its country's comprehensive strength, it insists on holding the Olympics.

The money lost will be shared by Japan** and the International Olympic Committee. Due to the current worsening epidemic situation in Japan, it may be difficult for the Olympic Games scheduled for July to be held smoothly, and some even reported that Japan may postpone the Olympic Games to 2032. It is reported that the Tokyo Olympics was originally held last year, but due to the impact of the epidemic, the Olympics had to be postponed for a year, and it was originally expected that the epidemic situation would improve this year, so it was scheduled to be held in July.

However, judging from the current epidemic situation in Japan, during the winter, there was an increase in confirmed cases in the areas near Tokyo, Japan, and the daily increase in confirmed cases in Japan exceeded 7,000, which had to make Japan's ** economy declare a state of emergency for some regions.

But the situation does not seem to be getting better, and even more grim than last year, the Japanese Medical Association said that Japan's medical system is currently close to collapse due to the surge in confirmed cases, and a large number of medical staff have to work overtime to complete the isolation and ** of patients. Because of this time, Japan has re-restricted the entry policy of foreigners, especially for the variant virus from Europe, and has stepped up prevention and control efforts. This series of events, because of a lot of ** bullish on the Tokyo Olympics, many people think that if the epidemic in this winter is not well suppressed, the future situation may be worse than last year, and it may be difficult for the Tokyo Olympics to be held as scheduled.

Recently, Japan** also conducted a survey on the Japanese people, and the survey showed that more than 8 percent of Japanese people believe that the Tokyo Olympics should be postponed or cancelled directly, which was only 63% last month. In the survey, 35% of respondents wanted the Tokyo Olympics to be cancelled, which is much higher than before. Due to the continuous recurrence of the epidemic, the Japanese people's support rate for ** has also continued to decrease, with the Japanese Prime Minister's approval rate falling by about 9% from last month, and more than sixty percent of respondents expressed dissatisfaction with **.

Now that the epidemic situation in Japan is still worsening, coupled with the increasingly strict monitoring of the inbound population in Japan, there is hope that Japan will be able to reduce the number of confirmed cases in the coming period.

And in this process, it has been revealed that some relevant people have considered postponing the Olympic Games to 2032, because the Paris Olympics in 2024 and the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028, if Japan wants to postpone it for a long time, it will have to wait until 2032. However, the news has not been confirmed, and some relevant staff members said that similar remarks will only increase people's concerns.
