Tokyo Olympics to cost $15 billion or more. The bill goes to Japanese taxpayers who couldn’t attend.

By successfully banning spectators and shutting the Video games to exterior guests, Japanese officers have forfeited practically $800 million in income that that they had anticipated. Quite than attracting as many as 10 million vacationers, per some optimistic projections, fewer than 100,000 official Olympics-related vacationers have been authorized, which included athletes, crew personnel and journalists. These guests have been sequestered to the Olympic “bubble” — the authorized official Video games venues, motels and different particular websites — for the overwhelming majority of their keep in Japan.
