The Olympic Games is a huge undertaking and cannot be held at one venue. That is why for the Tokyo Summer Olympics 2021 all events will be spread across 42 Olympic venues.
With over 30 different sports and approximately 330 individual events, Tokyo will be busy trying to cater to all their guests and athletes. However, there will be billions of dollars lost due to limited access.
No revenue will be gained from the sale of tickets.
No revenue will be gained from the sale of merchandise.
No revenue to be gained from booking rooms at hotels and various locations for accomodating spectators.
No revenue from any industry, which would have contributed to Japan’s economic wellbeing. However, media houses and streaming apps are definitely sure to rake in a substantial amount from viewing rights, new subscribers, and advertisements.
Nonetheless, the show must go on and billions of international Olympic sporting fans are eagerly waiting to view all the Summer Olympics competitions that are held in Tokyo.
