Cost reduction for the Olympics and Para Games Tokyo will consider further October 8th, 5:59
Regarding the amount of reduction in simplification of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, the host city, Tokyo, has repeatedly examined whether it is possible to reduce the transportation costs of spectators, which are not included in this amount, and the understanding of the citizens of Tokyo. I would like to improve the momentum for the Games while gaining money.
The Organizing Committee of the Tokyo Organizing Committee reported at the board of directors of the IOC = International Olympic Committee on the night of the 7th that the current reduction amount was about 30 billion yen.
Executives from the host city, Tokyo, have said that the cost of the tournament has already been reduced and that the simplification has been narrowed down as much as possible.
On the other hand, there are some who are concerned that the momentum for the tournament will decline depending on how the reduction of 30 billion yen is perceived against the 1,350 billion yen of the tournament expenses.
In addition, while the additional cost due to the postponement is expected to be several hundred billion yen, it is inevitable that the city will be required to bear a new burden in the future.
For this reason, the city has repeatedly considered cost reductions as much as possible in the projects that the city is responsible for, such as transporting spectators and decorating the city, which are not included in the reduction amount this time, and gaining the understanding of the citizens of the city, the momentum for the tournament. I want to raise it again.
