Beijing: Sports bring rivals closer. China has sought Japan’s support in hosting the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympicd and Paralympic Winter Games.
“After it successfully hosted the Tokyo Olympic Games, Japan is believed to have more understandings about how to safely host the event. China provided strong support to the Japanese side in hosting the successful games. We hope we can receive understanding and support from Japan, too,” Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said today.
The Chinese call came after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced that due to the need of COVID-19 containment, tickets to the Beijing 2022 will be sold exclusively to spectators residing in China’s mainland, who meet the requirements of the COVID-19 prevention and control measures.
The IOC call made China reflect whether when hosting the Tokyo Olympics, Japan invited spectators overseas. “I don’t think so,” Chunying answered the question that she raised. She mentioned that the IOC President Thomas Bach held an Executive Board meeting the other day, where key COVID-19 prevention and control measures of the Beijing 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games were deliberated.
“Facing the uncertainties in the spread of COVID-19, the Beijing 2022 Organizing Committee established a working mechanism for meeting and consultation with the IOC and maintained close communication with all stakeholders,” she informed.
Chunying said with a high sense of responsibility toward the life and health of athletes, the big Olympic family and all stakeholders, the Chinese Organizing Committee “adheres to the bottom line of safety and prioritizes COVID-19 prevention and control in order to host a safe event as scheduled. Spectators overseas can enjoy the impressive event on television,” she said.

Good article. It is extremely unfortunate that over the last one decade, the travel industry has already been able to to tackle terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, bird flu virus, swine flu, and also the first ever true global recession. Through all this the industry has proven to be powerful, resilient and dynamic, obtaining new approaches to deal with adversity. There are generally fresh complications and opportunities to which the industry must yet again adapt and reply.
